Lambchop, 200 Years, Richard Youngs, Lonnie Methe, Alastair Galbraith, William Tyler - Year One

Review by Mm Somoza

Year One is an eclectic collaboration album featuring Lambchop, 200 Years, Richard Youngs, Lonnie Methe, Alastair Galbraith, and William Tyler. The album offers a unique blend of folk, rock, and experimental music that showcases the individual talents of each artist while maintaining a cohesive sound throughout.

The album opens with "The Good Life (Is Wasted)," a slow-burning track that sets the tone for the rest of the album. The haunting vocals of Richard Youngs and the twangy guitar of William Tyler create a melancholic atmosphere that is carried throughout the album.

Tracks like "In Care of 8675309" and "Lullaby" showcase the experimental side of the album, with Lonnie Methe's spoken word poetry and Alastair Galbraith's atmospheric violin adding layers of depth and complexity to the music.

The standout track on the album is "Ohio," a haunting ballad that features the soulful vocals of Lambchop's Kurt Wagner. The track is a perfect example of the collaborative nature of the album, with each artist bringing their unique sound to create a truly special track.

Summary by Mm Somoza

Year One is a must-listen for fans of experimental folk and rock music. The album showcases the individual talents of each artist while creating a cohesive sound that is both haunting and beautiful.
