Using the postmodern torch music of Portishead as a foundation, Lamb spin
out into new sonic territories on their eponymous debut album. The group
sports a heavier techno influence, incorporating the buzzing rhythms of
drum'n'bass into their music in particular, yet they cut their modernistic
electronic influences with a dark sense of melodicism. Most of the album is
devoted to jazzy songs that are broken apart by Andy Barlow's synthesizers
and sampler and are anchored by Louise Rhodes' seductive vocals, which
prevent the electronics from becoming cold. It's sophisticated urban music,
one that's miles away from the avant-garde sensibilities of Tricky and the
haunted romanticism of Portishead, or even the pop leanings of Sneaker
Pimps and the soul-inflected grooves of Morcheeba. Instead, Lamb is classy,
detached, and cool -- a more club-oriented and less melodic variation of
Everything but the Girl's Walking Wounded. Although Lamb may run a little
long, it's one of the more hypnotic byproducts of trip-hop yet released.
