Lambchop‘s new album This (is what I wanted to tell you) was released in March via City Slang. The album, which featured singles ‘The December-ish you‘, ‘Everything for you‘ and ‘Crosswords, or what this says about you‘, was widely regarded as a career highlight – no mean feat for a band of their stature. Praise included features from Uncut, The Line of Best Fit and Huck as well as glowing reviews from The Guardian, Mojo, Q, The Sunday Times and more.
Today, Lambchop return with a new EP featuring new track ‘So Modern and so Tight’ – written in part with Bon Iver‘s Matthew Mccaughan and mixed by visual artist Andrew Broder – as well as a remixes of This (is what I wanted to tell you) highlights by Raven and Group Listening. The EP is out now.Band leader Kurt Wagner goes into more detail below:
‘So Modern and so Tight’
“This mix was created by Andrew Broder a visual artist, musician and producer from the wilds of Minneapolis. We met during the PEOPLE gathering in Berlin last summer. It was based on a track that I had started with Matthew Mccaughan that was part of group of songs we were working on for “This is what I wanted to tell you”. Andrew edited and re imagined the piece into something quite lovely and mysterious. So much in fact it’s really not so much a remix but a new song unto itself.”
‘This Is What I Wanted to Tell You (Group Listening Remix)’
“Group Listening are really unique in their approach, I find it more akin to what I think is the potential of the “remix” medium. It’s conceptual and allows for them to create something that is based on who “they” are and what “they” do as musicians yet it’s still intrinsically related to the source material. The results are true and clearly beautiful.”
‘Crosswords, or What This Says About You (Raven Remix)’
“I don’t know a lot about Raven but when I heard this remix it had a certain inherent English feel to it that I liked. It has a sort of lost 80’s dance thing going on in it and somehow re makes the song into something hooky, maybe catchy even. Something I’ve strived for on occasion but have never been able to achieve. I guess I’m just not wired that way. But if I was i might have made something like this. (Ha), but then who am I kidding?”
