With the band's second album, they perfect the sound introduced on their impressive 1994 debut I HOPE YOU'RE SITTING DOWN. The Lambchop sound is at once self-mocking and quietly intense, achieving the sort of dichotomy usually reserved for Leonard Cohen records. Lambchop had yet to incorporate the funky R&B influences that would come to the fore on THRILLER and WHAT ANOTHER MAN SPILLS. HOW I QUIT SMOKING is a more sedate affair, filled with hushed vocals, shimmering, reverb-drenched guitar and elegant strin   [ read more ]

Nashville's Lambchop have been making alt-country, neo-soul, indie-rock records for over ten years now. "Aw Cmon," their eighth release and follow-up to 2002's "Is A Woman," contains lush instrumentals, rousing rave-ups, and thoughtful ballads. This record is being simultaneously released with its companion, "No You Cmon." Props to the band for ingenius album naming.

'A mix of post-modernism and straight (not roots) country music. The spooky organ fills, saxes, clarinets, and cello make this sound at times like the Art Ensemble of Chicago-as-country-band. Kurt Wagner's morose, resigned lyrics and dry, almost spoken delivery can get hard to take over the course of the hour-plus disc. 'Soaker in the Pooper,' a song about suicide in the bathroom, gave Wagner almost instant notoriety, and many of the other songs deal with similarly downbeat matters, although usually not as    [ read more ]

Their tenth full-length is yet another stunning collection of songs written by Kurt Wagner and brought to life by up to seventeen band members and collaborators. Eschewing the overt country influences of early Lambchop records and the R&B and soul influences of mid-period albums for a hushed austerity that is uniquely southern yet oddly universal, Damaged continues in the quiet and haunting tradition pioneered on the past three Lambchop albums.

There is no phrase in the English language more frightening or oxymoronic than country comedy, so how is it that Lambchop's homage to cornpone comedian Whitey Ford is so wonderful? For starters, there's Kurt Wagner's lovely, chiming melody and superb lyric, including an opening couplet -- Like a scowling Father Dowling/Between the job site and the crapper -- that's as enigmatically hilarious as anything the group's recorded; there's Deanna Varagona's beautiful, whispered harmonies; and there's the weirdly p   [ read more ]

This record was birthed out of the same creative process as 'Aw Cmon,', yet it will stand easily on its own. While the albums aren't dramatically different in style, they do serve as a conceptual call and response to each other. Whether enjoyed as a set or as two completely different pieces, Lambchop have created two of the most diverse and creative albums of their illustrious career.

?Following in the tradition of the brilliant Cigaretiquette single, which immediately preceded it, Thriller moves Lambchop sharply away from their signature {alt-countrypolitan} sound, pushing instead toward a punchier, noisier aesthetic; borrowing its title from the best-selling album of all time and devoting no less than three of its eight tracks to East River Pipe covers, it's a strange, difficult record likely to baffle even the group's most devoted fans. Opening with the surreal {doo wop} of My    [ read more ]

?Many of the attributes that numerous alternative listeners have found endearing or annoying about Lambchop remain on this, the band's sixth album. There's the fragmented, sometimes mundane subject matter of Kurt Wagner's lyrics, his dry sing-speak voice, and an overall air of resignation that blurs the line between contentment and containment. Is a Woman has to rank as one of the group's better efforts, though, primarily since the coyness that could lead to aggravating pretensions has been muted, almost to   [ read more ]
