Overview
- Lambchop, which announced the album Wednesday, also released the first single Weakened and set Aug. 21 for release on Peak Vinyl/Merge in North America and City Slang elsewhere.
- Kurt Wagner recorded the LP at Justin Vernon’s April Base in Wisconsin with producer Ryan Olson and collaborator Andrew Broder.
- Vernon plays banjo on the record, and the arrangements lean on a six‑piece choir across songs.
- Wagner says the songs draw on lined‑out gospel, a call‑and‑response style that prizes plain group vocals over instrumentation.
- The tour hits Minneapolis across summer and fall, stops in Chicago on Sept. 29, plays Brooklyn on Oct. 1–2, then expands to a wider European run.
