the album title is telling. Lambchop has always understood the value of an aside, how sometimes it can be anything. Without the brackets is ”This (is what I wanted to tell you)” a verging on the banal title, with the direct ingenious. Kurt Lambchops singer and songwriter, Wagner is working so. With small shades, barely noticeable shifts and our time the warmest and kindest countrysoulröst. Even when it is, just like on the predecessor ”FLOTUS”, distorted by the addition of a TC-Helicon-box, and is framed by jazzy electronica rather than the early discs more backward-looking tolvmannaband.

the major remodeling of the Lambchops sound is the more compact and straighter ”This (is what I wanted to tell you)” more management than renewal. It makes it possibly less bewildering, but no less indispensable. For Wagner still sounds like he whispers her lyrics just for you.
