Lambchop album release

Overview

The musical group Lambchop has released a new studio album titled ‘Punching the Clown’, representing their first new music in four years. Led by Kurt Wagner, the project marks a stylistic shift toward folk-oriented, sparse instrumentation—such as acoustic guitar, banjo, and piano—following previous explorations into electronic and ambient sounds.

A central element of the album is the influence of ‘lining out’, a 19th-century British church and Appalachian tradition where a lead singer calls out lines for a choir to respond to. To achieve this, the album incorporates vocal contributions from choirs in London and Eau Claire, Wisconsin, as well as banjo work from Bon Iver’s Justin Vernon.
