Lambchop – The Hustle

Naš omiljeni americana-country-soul-ovo/ono bend uskoro izdaju novi album.
Isti bi trebao biti vani 4.11.2016 u izdanju Merge recordsa i zvat će se Flotus (Početna slova stoje za “For Love Often Turns Us Still”).
Kao najavu za album, gospodin Kurt Wagner i ekipa poslali su nam ovaj 18-ominutni(!) singl i popratno pismo uz njega,koje ovdje prenosimo u cijelosti:

“My wife and I attended this wedding of one her college friends in the countryside outside of Nashville. Weddings are a heady mix of emotions, memories, and events that can be quite rich in imagery. With this being a Quaker wedding, there was a lack of “officiating” in that the bride and groom addressed each other directly the entire time. This was something that I found to be most touching. Beyond that, as with much of my writing, I tend to describe experiences in an almost journalistic fashion and then strip things down till there is barely a thread to hold them together—in this case, starting with the vows and then moving on from there. The entire wedding party was doing this great synchronized dance step that I hadn’t seen before. I asked my wife what dance it was, and she told me it was the Hustle. She suggested I join them. I respectfully declined.” – Kurt Wagner

Moram priznat da me malo iznenadila glazba tj. zvuk koji su nam ovog puta priuštili dečki iz Nashville-a (elektro Lambchop??!), ali kad sam pročitao ovo pisamce (odličan PR potez, ako mene pitate,jer ja pušim ova emo sranja,priznajem :)) i nakon par minuta dočekao Kurtov vokal, sve su sumnje pale u vodu. Melodija je prekrasna, uvod je interesantan, sazdan od mnoštva malih fragmenata zvukova i instrumenata, sve tako lako plovi i priča ovu ljubavnu priču. Žena, pir, ples, Nashville, kiša..
Svaki put se naježim:
I don’t want to leave you ever / And that’s a long long time

I onda neki kažu da im riječi u pjesama nisu važne..
Kurt je velik.
