Lambchop

Much as I love the new album, I'd also be quite pleased if they released an un-processed vocal/"typical" Lambchop version. I realise this is kind of harsh/conservative.

My copy arrived today, have listened twice (though was in the kitchen for most of one of those times) and really like it so far. Relaxed and unhurried. 'The Hustle' is wonderful.

Kurt did a solo in-store tonight; he has this clever little box which does the auto tune stuff in real time as he sings; I wasn't expecting that, for whatever reason (I don't pay much attention to music tech), and he was really, really good.

The more I listen to the new LP the more I like it.

I'm really enjoying it, too. It feels the most thematically and sonically 'complete' since Is A Woman. (It's also just dawned on me that that title isn't a rhetorical question.)

Think it started at 2:09.

I'm on a bit of a roll tonight. Haven't paid much attention to new musical releases in the past couple of months. Listening to this album now. I'm at "Howe" at the moment, hoping it gets a little better, melody-wise. The first song was classic. The rest is just OK so far.

I'm totally down that this may be a grower.

But previous Lambchop albums didn't need that pre-designation for me.

Slightly annoyed in not understanding Wagner's lyrics. Musical arrangements haven't been that interesting to sustain me, so far.

very loose prince cover

i listened to the new album in the car on the german autobahn when the night fell. really great songs even the voice treatment didn't turn me off. the whole thing is very relaxed and quite rhythmic.

i saw them live a couple of weeks ago and had no idea that the drummer was dude from wye oak. the show, like the album, was pretty but fairly dull.

I heard a rumor that I'm sad
Or at least that I feel bad
Whoever said that doesn't know
I'm pretty sure that I don't know

(From the other thread) There's a new version of "The Hustle"???

on spotify anyway

what the fuck is this? everyone please go back to the lambchop thread that i bumped.

untrue thread

He can't sing any better on the other thread though

thread of truth

I feel some guilt for hoping ... that someone stamps on his gadget.

damaged is the best lambchop album

Didn't work. Maybe just search for "LAMBCHOP LIVE @ OCB PAPER SESSIONS! [FULL SESSION]".

new one This (is what I wanted to tell you) out 03/22. First single keeps going down the electro country R&B rabbit hole.

delighted that they're pushing further in this direction, new song is lovely

Sigh. Bye, Lambchop. This direction sucks.

the two genders

yayyy

i wanted another record in the flotus mold with slighter tighter songs and.. seems like that's happening

slightly* lol

also this is like as gorgeous and slow-blooming as any classic lambchop song, it just has vocoder and synthetic percussion and weird keyboard-present embellishments so it feels like a watery dream instead of a gradual ache

preset* doing great today

the vocoder feels a little better-integrated here, also

put me on the "i don't like this version of lambchop" list. saw them live on the flotus tour and it was pretty boring. i don't mind the sonic experimentation but the songs don't seem to be there.

oh i LOVE this one

dig this

the section from about 4:25 onwards is especially lovely

I'll never get past the electronic vocal bullshit. It's a shame; the band sounds great.

absolutely. why do acts i love use f*cking autotunes. though on the low album it somehow worked.

you're both nerds

Makes them sound like Dntel in 2002

I find it suits the timbre of the music just fine; it's made their move toward easy liquidity more pronounced. Plus, I trust Wagner, which makes it easier to go with it.

the vocal processing suits the watery texture of the music well

the whole album (it's out there) is very pretty, feels like floating in a lake

It seems a bit passé, no?

(the track that was posted)

i love this weird underwater soft rock album

this is very different.... but very good?

To stick with the water metaphors, it washed over me and left behind virtually no jetsam whatsoever.

Can't stand the vocals, it's like someone has peed in my glass of water.
