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.

damaged is the best lambchop album
― flamenco blorf (BradNelson), Friday, 29 June 2018 22:24 (six years ago) link
Didn't work. Maybe just search for "LAMBCHOP LIVE @ OCB PAPER SESSIONS! [FULL SESSION]".
― djh, Friday, 29 June 2018 22:25 (six years ago) link
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
― ufo, Monday, 10 December 2018 15:16 (five years ago) link
Sigh. Bye, Lambchop. This direction sucks.

yayyy

i wanted another record in the flotus mold with slighter tighter songs and.. seems like that's happening
― jolene club remix (BradNelson), Monday, 10 December 2018 16:36 (five years ago) link
slightly* lol
― jolene club remix (BradNelson), Monday, 10 December 2018 16:37 (five years ago) link
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
― jolene club remix (BradNelson), Monday, 10 December 2018 16:54 (five years ago) link
preset* doing great today
the vocoder feels a little better-integrated here, also
― resident hack (Simon H.), Monday, 10 December 2018 17:06 (five years ago) link
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.

dig this
― nxd, Thursday, 7 March 2019 10:46 (five years ago) link
the section from about 4:25 onwards is especially lovely
― ufo, Thursday, 7 March 2019 11:11 (five years ago) link
I'll never get past the electronic vocal bullshit. It's a shame; the band sounds great.
― EZ Snappin, Thursday, 7 March 2019 18:17 (five years ago) link
absolutely. why do acts i love use f*cking autotunes. though on the low album it somehow worked.

Makes them sound like Dntel in 2002
― Duke, Thursday, 7 March 2019 19:55 (five years ago) link
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.
― Good cop, Babcock (Chinaski), Thursday, 7 March 2019 20:19 (five years ago) link
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
― ufo, Friday, 8 March 2019 01:42 (five years ago) link
It seems a bit passé, no?

i love this weird underwater soft rock album
― ufo, Friday, 22 March 2019 03:58 (five years ago) link
this is very different.... but very good?

To stick with the water metaphors, it washed over me and left behind virtually no jetsam whatsoever.
― Good cop, Babcock (Chinaski), Friday, 22 March 2019 11:18 (five years ago) link
Can't stand the vocals, it's like someone has peed in my glass of water.
― what if bod was one of us (ledge), Friday, 22 March 2019 11:30 (five years ago) link
it's perfect background music but still there's the occasional standout moment like the sublime solo in "the new isn't so you anymore"
― ufo, Friday, 22 March 2019 11:37 (five years ago) link
oh my god y’all it’s just a vocoder
― jolene club remix (BradNelson), Friday, 22 March 2019 13:09 (five years ago) link
^^ amen.
It's spring and there's a weak sun out and this just flows over me in such a beautiful and tender way. He's set out on this path some years ago and seems to want to make his music "smaller", smoother, and it's just the best direction he could take.
― Uptown VONC (Le Bateau Ivre), Friday, 22 March 2019 13:35 (five years ago) link
damn this album is beautiful
― jolene club remix (BradNelson), Saturday, 23 March 2019 01:14 (five years ago) link
one of the reasons i struggled (and still struggle) with flotus was bc wagner's lyrical voice was largely absent or broken into unintelligible fragments. but on this record it's back baby!!!!
― jolene club remix (BradNelson), Sunday, 24 March 2019 17:09 (five years ago) link
all the songs are just these weird collapsing waves of instrumental and vocal hooks
i think this is already one of my absolute favorite lambchop records
― jolene club remix (BradNelson), Sunday, 24 March 2019 17:11 (five years ago) link
Yeah, it's great. It demonstrates huge strides in them embracing this style that the last album only suggested ("The Hustle" aside)
― Simon H., Sunday, 24 March 2019 17:20 (five years ago) link
"the lasting last of you" is just... what even is that
― jolene club remix (BradNelson), Sunday, 24 March 2019 17:22 (five years ago) link
The harmonica solo on the opener is my fave moment of anything so far this year
