Casual Gods was the second solo album by Jerry Harrison. His third, Walk on Water, also bore the Casual Gods name as a proxy for the band.

The track "Man with a Gun" was featured in the film Two Moon Junction, and the instrumental version of the same song was used in the Jonathan Demme film Something Wild. The album cover art features a photograph of the Serra Pelada gold mine by renowned Brazilian photographer Sebastião Salgado.
