They are, as you say, a strange ship on a weird voyage but it is a lot of fun checking in with them.

Also, I have never seen a band who can combine so many instruments yet still keep the sound so pristine and clear.

They are likely the last of the romantics; beautifulness seemed to be the order of the night. What a dreamy sound! As subjective as the music experience is, I thought I heard shades of Neu, Burt Bacharach, and Bob Seger all intriguingly messed-up, like dreams, you know? We were won over by Kurt’s charm, heart and impressionist songs and delivery steering this odd ghost ship.

Generally, the postpost 1990 indie thang is too precious for my taste, everyone seems to be competing to see who can embroider the most ostentatious, ragtag, pain-in-my-chest-oh-i-need-some-smack heart on their sleeve and i just have trouble buying it, or even downloading it. But this is modern music that doesn’t groan or whimper.

On the encore he called his wife and Lambchop played a song for her. When it was finished he picked up the phone and asked her,” that wasn’t too loud was it, dear? I’ll be home in a few hours.”
