My increasing tendency to sop up laboriously slow and methodical roots music like it was jalapeno-vinegar gravy (that is to say, I'd lap it up with cornbread from my plate and yours, and a straw if need be) is quickly becoming the stuff of parody. So when I saw the description on the new Lambchop record that "they take a mellow and contemplative Leonard Cohen-like turn," I almost didn't play it at first, like it would just be courting the prurient side of my being. But I suppose liking Leonard Cohen a bunch is a lot better than most things. I'm about 3 songs in so far and, yeah, it's gorgeous, slow and laden with soft pillows of feedback-y texture. And Kurt Wagner's deep voice murking through it all. Pretty stuff, check out "Paperback Bible" here.
