Lamb
Lamb is an electronic music duo from Manchester, England consisting of producer Andy Barlow and singer-songwriter Louise Rhodes. The duo did subsequently expand to include Jon Thorne (bass), Oddur Mar Runnarson (guitar) and Nikolaj Bjerre (drums). They were frequently joined by London-based string trio Chi 2 Strings and Kevin Davy (trumpet).
Their self-titled debut album was released in September of 1996 and featured their best known single – today’s Song of the Day – “Górecki“, which was inspired by Henryk Górecki’s Third Symphony, the Symphony of Sorrowful Songs. Rhodes and Barlow co-wrote the song and part of the lyrics were used by Baz Luhrmann for some of Satine’s lines in the motion picture Moulin Rouge!. The song was also used in an advertisement for Guinness and an advertisement for the Tomb Raider: Underworld video game.
