Casual Gods is the second album by American musician Jerry Harrison, released in January 1988 by Sire Records in the U.S. and Fontana Records in the UK and Europe. His third album, Walk on Water, would also bear the Casual Gods name as a proxy for the band. A majority of the songs were co-written with Harrison's Modern Lovers bandmate Ernie Brooks, who went on to tour internationally with Harrison in 1988.
The track "Man with a Gun" was featured in the 1988 film Two Moon Junction, and the instrumental version of the same song was used in the 1986 Jonathan Demme film Something Wild. The track "Cherokee Chief" first appeared on the 1987 Sire Records promotional sampler Just Say Yes. The single "Rev It Up" peaked at No. 7 on the U.S. Album Rock Tracks chart. The album cover features a photograph of the Serra Pelada gold mine by Brazilian photographer Sebastião Salgado.
