Lambchop is the long-running project of Nashville-based singer-songwriter Kurt Wagner. Though often associated with alternative country, the group has consistently defied easy categorization, incorporating elements of soul, jazz, and experimental rock into their sound over a career spanning decades. This album arrived after a period of critical acclaim for their more stripped-down 2016 release "Flotus," finding Wagner and his collaborators exploring a richer, more layered sound palette.
