Background notes
Archive material and source history
Fleshwater formed in Los Angeles in the early 1980s with Whitfield Crane on vocals, Keith LeBlanc on guitar, Jeff Barrett on bass, and Michael Hutchins on drums. Their debut album 'Erotic Liquors' drew attention for its sexually charged lyrics and experimental sound. The band faced lineup changes and financial difficulties through that decade, but kept working, releasing 'Ashes to Ashes' as their second album.
In the 1990s, their music shifted toward more introspective territory with albums like 'Violet Hour' and 'The Colours of Failure.' Crane's lyrics began exploring psychological themes rather than overt provocation. The song 'What Was Really Said' from 2002 continued this approach, examining the nuances of communication.
Fleshwater's catalog includes tracks like 'Linda Claire,' 'This, If Anything,' 'Backstairs Breathing,' and 'Baldpate Driver.' They maintained a consistent presence in experimental rock circles without seeking mainstream acceptance.
