Album Notes Initials pressings of TOOLS IN THE DRYER include a Limited Edition bonus CD. Lambchop includes: Tony Crow, William Tyler, Matt Swanson, Dennis Cronin. With nearly a dozen years of releases under their belt, Lambchop rooted around in their attic and cellar for this revealing set of odds and ends. Rather than adhering to a chronological parade, TOOLS IN THE DRYER has been smartly sequenced to shine a light on the band's aesthetic inclinations. Moody countrypolitan rubs shoulders with low-key, rural-infused urban soul. Some of these songs were b-sides, some are remixes and compilation tracks, and many have never seen the light of day before. The retrospective view allows even Lambchop's earliest songs to resonate, foreshadowing future directions. Kurt Wagner's vocals have gone from stylistic explorations to confident individuality. In the studio and on stage this ensemble creates a deep, subtle tapestry of sound. This disc is full of their wonderfully rich tonal juxtapositions, as horns blend with steel guitar, and massed electric guitars sometimes sound no louder than a light wind through a tobacco barn.
