Lambchop: Hayward Gallery, London
John L. Walters, The Guardian, 28 July 2006
LAMBCHOP are one of those cult American bands that push all the right "alt" buttons: alt.country, alt.rock, alt.symphonic pop. Their approach to songcraft recalls the obsessive strategies of Brian Wilson and Van Dyke Parks, while the misanthropic croak of singer Kurt Wagner may owe something to Leonard Cohen and Tom Waits.
