After a five year hiatus, LAMB, the duo Andy Barlow and Lou Rhodes, reformed in 2009. To say this reunion was a success would be a gross understatement. By January of 2010, Lamb had played 33 shows to hundreds of thousands of fans in 29 different countries. Lou vividly recalls a particularly reflective conversation with Andy at the end of this tour. Over the course of their four critically acclaimed studio albums, Lamb had grown from a modest duo from Manchester to a formidable touring force, with each subsequent album building on the sonic palette of the one that came before. By the time they'd released 2003's Between Darkness And Wonder, Lou and Andy were supervising complex orchestral arrangements and multiple cowrites with bassist Jon Thorne and guitarist Oddur Mar Runnarson. If they were going to return to the studio, they'd have to return to the essence of what Lamb was: two creative spirits, hungry, unfettered by commercial pressure and desperate to make new music. Lou and Andy have always had a spirited working relationship - often playing the yin to the other's yang, especially early on in their careers - but it's that juxtaposition of kinetic, beat-driven programming and transcendental melody that's provided the crux of their inimitable sound. These days, with families of their own and a bit more shared life experiences between them, their visions have coalesced. Time has stripped away pretense and preciousness. Not only has the path ahead been more clearly illuminated, but the gift of hindsight has proven invaluable. The recording of Lamb's final album became so frustrating and cumbersome that Andy admits to times where he dreaded returning to the studio. Read more
