Today, Lambchop announce North American tour dates in support of their acclaimed new album FLOTUS. For these shows, Kurt Wagner and bandmates Tony Crow and Matt Swanson will tour as a quartet, joined by Wye Oak drummer/keyboardist/general multitasker Andy Stack.
These will be the first North American shows for Lambchop since the November release of FLOTUS. Listen to the band’s riveting Hopscotch performance from September atNYC Taper, which described the album as “a critically acclaimed shot across the bow to anyone who would dare claim a classic artist can’t reinvent themselves.”
FLOTUS is available now in the Merge Holiday store, at your local independent record store and via your favorite digital outlet.

More praise for FLOTUS:
“Like the rest of Lambchop’s decades-spanning discography, [FLOTUS] is a mordant document of Wagner’s obsessions, observations, emotions and cultural baggage—along with no small amount of haunting tunes.” —NPR Music
“Mr. Wagner may never win a Nobel Prize, but he is [a] singular lyricist worthy of comparison to Tom Waits and Kathleen Brennan.” —Wall Street Journal
“FLOTUS is as lush and gorgeous as any of Lambchop’s past work.” —Pitchfork
“On the remarkable FLOTUS (For Love Often Turns Us Still), Wagner has drenched his baritone in vocal effects and, with two collaborators, woven downtempo beat music and his effervescent lyricism into something really magical.” —Los Angeles Times
