Lamb

Well I searched for a similar thread and although I made a comp of them in the past, it seems as if they have no dedicated thread.

To call Lamb a mere Trip Hop band is a disservice to a band that incorporate everything from chillout to Jazz to Drum N Bass to glitchy breakbeats to serene beauty.

Consisting of producer and main writer Andy Barlow and singer/songwriter Lou Rhodes. Lamb's music is a smorsgabord of beauty and the obtuse.

Whilst Massive Attack and Portishead quite rightly gained many plaudits for bringing Electronic music to the masses with a sound that is both commercial and experimental, Lamb were always in the background with their unique twist on producing leftfield sounds.

Not only did they make some of the best emotive Electronic music of the late 90's, they also made some of the more unique and recognisable sounds which was no mean feat considering the multitudes of Trip Hop bands prevalent at the time. Both the debut and Fear Of Fours still sound fresh today.

P.S Lou Rhodes vocals are Sex personified.
