It was children that claimed the life of promising NYC act Luscious Jackson back in 2000, and it's children that have temporarily resurrected the trio of Jill Cunniff, Gabby Glaser, and Kate Schellenbach-- with original Jacksonite Vivian Trimble along for the ride.

LJ disbanded to pursue a career in baby-making, and now they're making something for the babies. In a recent interview with MTV.com, Cunniff revealed that Luscious Jackson have emerged from retirement for the moment and have already completed an album of songs especially for children. They've yet to decide upon a title, and are still shopping around for a label.

"It's fun because adults will be able to enjoy this too," Cunniff told MTV.com. "It's like Luscious Jackson with a kids' angle. It's not goofy kids' music-- it's dance-y and has Luscious Jackson beats, but the [lyrical] content is pretty silly."

She went on to say she wouldn't rule out the possibility of future Luscious collaborations, however those will probably have to wait a bit, as Jill Cunniff releases her solo debut, City Beach, early next year.

The disc, due February 6 via the Militia Group, features 12 tracks, including one with a guest spot from Emmylou Harris. The curious may stream the first three songs on the record-- "Lazy Girls", "Happy Warriors", and "NYC Boy"-- on Jill's MySpace as we speak...err, type...err, as you read? Whatevs.
