Love Electric
Released Februrary 1, 2010 (Juicy Juju Records)
The new album, Love Electric, is a futuristic dance party complete with unicorns, icebots, intrigue, electronic sex toys, and rock'n'roll! Mixing dancehall reggae with disco, pop and rock, the album was produced by Jake Zavracky (producer/composer, of the bands Cyanide Valentine and Quick Fix), and recorded in Boston and Brooklyn.
“blends shiny, modern production techniques with X-Ray Spex attitude (and sax styling) and a pulse worthy of the Talking Heads.”
-Performer Magazine
“Simply stated, I love this record and you will too! My 2 personal recommendations are 'Love Electric' and 'Drama Queen'.”
-Loudmouth Reviews
“Harpe’s velvety voice winds its way through your consciousness like the snake in the Garden of Eden to tempt you into all kinds of sinful pleasure.”
-Bill Copeland, CTRL ALT Music

Virtual Booty Machine
Released May 1, 2005 (Juicy Juju Records)
Lovewhip's third album, Virtual Booty Machine, marks a stylistic change for the band, as horns and percussion are synths and samples.
“...reprogrammed by the city's foremost basement-party hipsters, Virtual Booty Machine is off-the-meathook reggaeton smash, Casio-beat dance punk and vocodered come-ons, it's Stefani-esque certified potassium.”
-Carly Carioli, Boston Phoenix On the Download
“the album is a little heavily swayed toward the remixes, which normally would be a detriment to the album. However, here they are diverse enough in style to make the repetitive factor not become the issue it could. Recommended!”
-Jason Baker
“Lovewhip, that danceable mélange of calypso and African beats, fell through a breach in the space/time continuum and emerged as dance club mavens. Circa 1982. Virtual Booty Machine is four original tracks with seven DJ remixes, pulsing with beats, synths, samples, and loops. This Lovewhip release is still a dance party, kids. They’ve just replaced Tiki dolls and palm trees with strobe lights and disco balls.”
-Lexi Kahn, The Noise

Bouncehall
Released May 1, 2003 (Juicy Juju Records)
Lovewhip's second album, 10 tracks. Bouncehall is a world-booty-pop dance party, complete with a horn section, percussion, plus mbira, harmelodica, marimba, vibes, and more. Plus a special remix by DJ MonkOne from Brooklyn NY.
“This album that combines reggae, afro-pop, ska, soca and something called 'world booty funk' into a celebratory, irresistible party soundtrack. Pure joy.”
-Sarah Rodman, Boston Herald
“A fun-loving, summer party album that is undeniably danceable. Plus, the combination of African highlife, soukous, and juju with Jamaican ska and reggae is pretty innovative. Get this band to play your house party and you'll be there shimmying and shuffling with a big smile on your face.”

Whip It Baby!
Released May 1, 2000 (Juicy Juju Records)
A classic! Lovewhip's original debut album. A danceable mélange of calypso and African beats. Featuring Jesse Ryan on lead and rhythm guitar, Steve Goldmann on congas, talking drum, and bells, Nick Sowles on drums and Kevin Leppman on trombone and trumpet.
“Complex, island-inflected rhythms combine and clash so recklessly with salsa guitars, a chewy horn section, relentless percussives, and Erin Harpe’s downright, deliberate, lounge-lizard vocal approach, that it makes my head spin. 'Whip It Baby!' will take you to island ecstasy faster than 100 proof Captain Morgan’s sipped from a coconut.”
-Joel Simches Noise Magazine
“A sassy and bold album complete with a salsa and ska sound that at times is remniscent of Blondie and others including the Talking Heads, but all in all a completely unique sound for Lovewhip.”
-Grassroots Entertainment

Juicy Juju Records is proud to present Lovewhip's singer Erin Harpe and her delta blues!

“If you love that real authentic Delta sound and regret that you never got the chance to see Memphis Minnie and Bessie Smith to perform, you won't want to miss the work of the young blues singer Erin Harpe from Boston. For her new album "Delta Blues Duets" she takes you on a trip through the Delta circa 1930. The name says it all, 'Delta Blues Duets', Erin and her dad Neil Harpe, both on fingerpickin' and vocals, approach the sound of Memphis Minnie when she was partnered with Kansas Joe! Erin's voice is perfect for these kinds of songs, bluesy and full of sound and soul, reminding me of Bonnie Raitt's debut CD, her fingerpickin' is also the best. For those who love to early Bonnie Raitt, Maria Muldaur, Rory Block and similar-sounding singers, especially, a must!”
-Ron @ Rootstime.BE, Belgium
“Erin Harpe has earned respect as a solo blues artist for her sparse renditions of vintage blues songs originally written by the likes of Memphis Minnie, Bessie Smith, and Kansas Joe. On her sophomore blues effort, Delta Blues Duets, Harpe has recruited her dad to back her on guitar and vocals. Both Harpes have voices that can stand alone without the music. On 'Bye Bye Blues,' the guitars are twisty and the vocals are authentic for this genre. Each Harpe has true range. Being father and daughter they naturally work well together – the combination of the two making this disc successful. There is not a weak moment on this whole record.”
-Bill Copeland

“Erin is a great singer and fingerpicking acoustic guitarist, and here she presents a fine selection of rural and classic blues numbers. Things get off to a great start with a rousing version of Memphis Minnie’s 'Chauffeur Blues' and there is also a reading of 'My Girlish Days' later on. Although the work of women singers features heavily, Erin also tackles pieces by the likes of Tommy Johnson with some great string slapping and Blind Blake. My current favourite from the album, however, takes us back to the ladies and it is her superb arrangement of Bessie Smith’s 'Alligator Blues' which positively rocks along. Throughout the album she sings and plays with great confidence, perhaps hardly surprising for a lady who in a parallel universe fronts the indie band, Lovewhip. Recommended to lovers of good, clean acoustic picking.”
-Michael Prince, Blues in Britain
“Erin Harpe sings and plays new acoustic recordings of classic blues songs powerful,moving and unadulterated!”
-Michel Chesnais, France
“Maybe it's in the genes, but Erin Harpe, daughter of longtime area bluesman, Neil Harpe, has produced a wonderful album of acoustic blues, Blues Roots. Erin displays considerable command of a wide range of blues including songs associated with Memphis Minnie (Chauffer Blues and In My Girlish Days), Tommy Johnson (Bye Bye Blues and Big Road Blues), Bessie Smith (Alligator Blues), Willie Brown (Future Blues) and others. She plays a strong, percussive-tinged guitar that suits these songs perfectly but is also able to nimbly fingerpick on a Blind Blake number, You Gonna Quit Me. This is a fine debut album of traditional country blues.”
-DC Blues Society Newsletter
“Anyone who loves country blues should buy this record. The guitar is very nice, the voice is great. What more can I say... Don't hesitate, it's a must!”
-Philippe Deherand
