We're for the 'Chop

The truly delicious Lambchop have just released a brand new album, 'Is A Woman' . But Kurt Wagner talked like a man about ex-American president and previous album Nixon - not to mention his hometown, his bandmates and his erstwhile career sanding floors - during this chinwag with Hot Press, recorded last time Wagner was in town for a subdued, solo acoustic-and-cassette-tape mini-stormer of a gig.

...But wait! First, we recommend you have a taste of their great new album. How, you say? Why, by having a listen to two tracks from 'Is A Woman', silly.
