The album navigates effortlessly from peak to peak.
-
By any criteria an astonishing work.
-
The most fully realised Lambchop record, the most perfect blend yet of their alt country roots and their obsession with soul.
-
Expansively orchestrated, Nixon ultimately comes off as beautiful but slightly disturbing...
-
Music this laid-back but this deep, so full-bodied and yet so restrained, could only have been made by Lambchop.
-
Heartbreaking, gorgeous and totally individual, these big-production numbers meld the different but complementary beauties of Nashville country and sweet soul while adding a dash of wine-dark weirdness.
-
"Nixon," Lambchop's fifth solo LP, does have its moments, some of them truly glowing. But much of the rest of the album turns toward precious self-indulgence.
