Lambchop/Hands Off Cuba: Matt Swanson, Ryan Norris. Personnel: Kurt Wagner (vocals, guitar); William Tyler (guitar); Tony Crow (piano); Scott Martin (drum programming). Recording information: Nashville, TN. Arranger: Hands Off Cuba. Lambchop's experimental, progressive roots music is given a radical spin on COLAB, a collaborative project between the band and the electronica duo Hands Off Cuba. Although the opener, "Prepared," a gauzy ballad dominated by Lambchop mastermind Kurt Wagner's baritone, sounds fairly typical for the band, the rest of this EP renders the outfit's chamber alt-country nearly unrecognizable. Hands Off Cuba take Wagner's compositions and run them through a digital splicer, peppering the mix with beats and altering effects. The tracks, which range from about six to eight minutes, are full-fledged electronica endeavors, and as such might be a tad off-putting to die-hard fans of Lambchop's sound. Still, the group's most endearing quality is its adventurousness, and that quality is on full display on COLAB.
