56. LAMBCHOP - FLOTUS (2016)Lambchop's Flotus was a joie de vivre of vocodered folk. Like a reinvention, a rebirth, a calming come-uppeth though; not the kind of makeover like in a salon or on a TV show.
Kurt Wagner soothes in this outing. He's a kindred spirit who sounds crisp and fuzzy at the same time. His own autotuned vocals sound as backing vocals to which there is no real lead.
As I lay on the sofa typing this on the phone, which is rare please, as I don't want to sit at the desk, I melt into a scuzzer of an LP, the kind that Uncut Magazine gave 5 stars back in 2016.
Those five stars alerted me to a band that truly changed genre - not direction - not style - but genre - who does that? Tell me? I can tell you: Lambchop did it in 2016, with their twelfth (!!!!!!!) LP. Boom.
