Lambchop will put Showtunes out on May 21st.
The Last Benedict has been shared from Lambchop’s follow-up to 2019’s ‘This (is what I wanted to tell you)’.
“At the breakfast buffet table in a hotel during the Pickathon Festival, I was ‘lucky’ enough to get the last Eggs Benedict of the service,” Kurt Wagner says. “One sad egg.”
“Later, I caught the final scene in Giant, the one after the brawl in the diner where a battered but bemused Rock Hudson looks across the table at his grandson and says something akin to ‘the last Benedict’. Much later, I was sitting on my back porch and wrote this song.”
It adds to the lead single A Chef’s Kiss and the immersive video for Fuku, examples of an album which was built from basic guitar tracks into midi piano compositions.
