Music reviews of Oh (Ohio)

Music Review: Music for intimate interiors
Rating: 5 Stars

When I saw them play in NYC in 2008, I walked out. I guess Kurt's whispering voice just doesn't carry well in a large room, resulting in hiccuping vowels occasionally surfacing from the wash of lush instrumentation . I wasn't expecting much with the cd, but to my surprise, the songs here are really quite expertly put together. Think the sparseness of Nixon with the more sophisticated orchestration of C'mon/No you C'mon.

Kurt's tragicomic voice and lyrics, combined with careful, subdued instrumentation makes Lambchop uniquely so once again. "Ohio" opens with thumping, deep, unmuffled drums, which eventually gives way to "I'm Thinking of a Number," a piece that echoes a Nashville soul that the band hides so well. The gently upbeat "National Talk Like Pirate Day" rouses up the lines "This is my song, don't sing along" which immediately gets me chuckling, thinking of all the people at gigs who sing along, drowning out the actual performer from being heard. "A Hold of You" is pure Nixon, almost intimate enough for a trio in a smoky jazz cellar bar. "Sharing A Gibson" showcases that eerie low voice of Kurt's that we all love.

"Of Raymond" has a very AOR feel to both music and lyrics, with sophisticated horns and woodwinds in the breaks, as if Burt Bacharach was accompanying the band but you're never quite sure whether Austin Powers is going to run out from behind a corner and pour nutty coffee on the whole affair. "Please Rise" is a slow march, almost a national anthem to all who commence on the absurd landscape that Lambchop has sowed. "Popeye" has a mysterious ambient-like opening- easily the most interesting song for me. Kurt's Sha-La-La-La's are so weightless it made me levitate from my chair. It slowly unfolds into lush quiet piece, aided by the combination of an expansive vibraphone and a piano. "Close up" and "I Believe in you" are rich, luxuriant pieces, demonstrating the expertise Mark Nevers and Roger Moutenot put into the production efforts.

Definitely a collection that comes across better in a quiet setting.

Description of Oh (Ohio)

Change is a subtle thing in Lambchop's world; Kurt Wagner is simply a great believer in the natural pace of life. Lambchop have evolved, adapted, and tested themselves over their long career and "OH (Ohio)" follows this pattern in typically oblique but deeply satisfying ways.
