By breathing on the cake that slowly converts into ambrosia, one can achieve eternal life; it's hyperbolic on my end, though Lamb have managed to respire upon that delicacy in regards to their self-titled debut album likewise. The Manchester-based electronic duo not only fire on all cylinders here, they strike a combination of fear and beauty into them. Including stylistic elements such as drum and bass, trip hop, and jazz, Lamb is a generally spiritual record with not a precious moment wasted. The ethereal atmosphere this outing emits when put next to equally magical production and Lou Rhodes' seasoned vocal deliveries is like a match made in Heaven. Sure, it might not be so terribly sui generis in hindsight, though what Lamb do well, they do it amazingly at the end of the day. Don't bother trying to let the double team's first full-length slip under the radar. Angel recommends: "Cotton Wool," "Trans Fatty Acid," "Merge," "Gorecki," and "Feela".
