Music reviews of Damaged (Dig)
Music Review: Lambchop's latest masterpiece
Rating: 5 Stars
It may take a few listens, but Lambchop's new album soon reveals it's true worth.
Damaged is a beautiful, understated set of string-laden pop songs capable of blissfully taking you higher, whilst also quietly shaking the very foundations of your existence. Does that description sound a little overdramatic? Let me assure you - it's not. Even by Kurt Wagner's high songwriting standards, this really is masterful stuff. At 10 songs (48 minutes), Damaged is relatively concise for a Lambchop record, and yet the songs themselves almost audibly breathe, such is their unhurried, elegant nature.
This time out, Kurt Wagner's songwriting output has taken on a greater sense of urgency, depth and focus. Understandable, given that the Lambchop frontman had to have a piece of his jaw removed after discovering a bitterly hostile cyst, and shortly thereafter survived another serious brush with cancer. It's still a subtle shift, but compared with past Lambchop releases, the lyrical content of Damaged feels like it's less about the external influences surrounding Kurt Wagner and more about the songwriters own mind and body. Observations on mortality, identity, sex, and loneliness feature heavily. In the past I've tended to get the gist of what Kurt Wagner is saying rather than the exact translation and I've tended to feel Lambchop's music more than I do understand it. For me, Damaged is the first Lambchop record in which the words, as well as the typically wondrous music, really do, consistently, strike a chord.
Listening to Damage is like that tingling feeling you get when sudden warm currents of air flow soothingly around your skin on an otherwise crisp autumn day. Poignant, evocative, and surprisingly pleasurable - and for one unexpected moment a nice reminder of how good it is to be living.

Description of Damaged (Dig)
Their tenth full-length is yet another stunning collection of songs written by Kurt Wagner and brought to life by up to seventeen band members and collaborators. Eschewing the overt country influences of early Lambchop records and the R&B and soul influences of mid-period albums for a hushed austerity that is uniquely southern yet oddly universal, "Damaged" continues in the quiet and haunting tradition pioneered on the past three Lambchop albums ("Is A Woman", "Aw C'mon", and "No You C'mon").Alternative Rock CDs
