So they released a 13-minute cover of Wilco's Reservations. First listen and it's kinda just there but will try a couple more times.

wasn't sure of the new covers LP... but god i've not listened to This (Is What I Wanted to Tell You) enough in the last year. I think I overplayed it in 2019 so needed a break. it's so great.

new album Showtunes out May 21
the concept this time is he composed demo piano tracks with a midi editor instead of writing with a guitar, and it also features James McNew of Yo La Tengo as a band member (https://www.lambchop.net/ press release is here)
"chef's kiss" is pretty nice, a similar-ish feeling to the last album but he's shifted around which bits of the sound feel more and less organic. some people will be delighted he dropped the vocal processing but personally i could have listened to a whole career of albums with it

This (is what I wanted to tell you) was so good that it will be difficult to beat though
― ufo, Tuesday, 16 March 2021 13:06 (three years ago) link
really lovely and interesting

That's hit home. His voice is beautiful at this pitch. Not wishing age on him but I think Wagner's voice will be extraordinary in later life.

oh wow
― ufo, Monday, 12 April 2021 16:13 (three years ago) link
lol & otm. yeah their progression is very much like "i've been burning and re-ripping CDR copies of the same lambchop album for 20 years, and i think the drive is starting to fail." in the best way.

Not sure it's as good as the last, and feels like it will take some time to settle in - but i've really enjoyed first few listens
― Hmmmmm (jamiesummerz), Saturday, 5 June 2021 19:19 (two years ago) link

greatest band of all time
― flamenco drop (BradNelson), Friday, 30 September 2022 12:23 (one year ago) link
this is an incredibly stupid thing to say but "little black boxes" reminds me of last train to paris
― flamenco drop (BradNelson), Friday, 30 September 2022 18:00 (one year ago) link
Well, this is _unexpected_. 'Little Black Boxes' currently making me think of Hall & Oates, The1975 and Little Simz.
