Gig review: Lambchop at Howard Assembly Room, Leeds
Lambchop are probably still most readily associated with the luxuriously layered country-soul swoon of 2000’s widescreen yet intimate masterpiece Nixon, which turned them into reigning champions of the then-fashionable alt. country scene.
The Nashville collective have moved to an entirely different musical postcode area since 2012’s Mr. M hit another peak of warmly organic luminance. Now consisting of the loose outfit’s sole constant presence, creatively restless songwriter and singer Kurt Wagner, and whoever he decides to work with, more recent Lambchop albums have dabbled with prominent electronic textures, copiously administered autotune, deconstructed songcraft, even a drop of disco.
