For this covers album, each of Lambchop’s six band members was tasked with choosing one song for the group to cover, and leading the recording session to completion each day. Lambchop principal Kurt Wagner says, “My idea was to see what might happen if I removed myself from the process as much as possible.” The album consists of six longform covers, interpreted into the kind of tender experimental country/R&B ballads Lambchop are so great at. Kurt guides the sextet that includes longtime members Tony Crow, Matt Swanson & Paul Niehaus, plus (relative) newcomers Andy Stack (of Wye Oak, Joyero) & Matt McCaughan (who plays in Bon Iver's band). The covered artists span genres: country (George Jones), indie rock (Wilco, Yo La Tengo), r&b/soul (Stevie Wonder, Supremes) and even raw proto-punk (The Mirrors). Trip is available here on CD and limited edition “Peak” coke bottle clear with yellow swirl vinyl. Released 11/13/20 on Merge Records.
