Lambchop
Something's Going On

City Slang/Labels

WE SAY

No soundclip. We loved Lambchop in the early days but more recently had assumed they were catering to their existing fanbase only. We were dead wrong - this single is not only a lovely pop song but a really extraordinary delivery by Kurt Wagner backed by a choir. It deserves massive exposure. They play Zero 7's Jazz Café picnic in Twickenham on August 15.
