Today, the Hopscotch Festival premiered a video of Kurt Wagner of Lambchop performing “Buttons,” a track from the band’s latest album Mr. M, at Carrboro’s Friendly Barber Shop during XX Merge. Mr. M was released earlier this year to some of the best reviews of Lambchop’s career including the NY Times who said, “of all Lambchop’s records, Mr. M sounds like its least mannered, most mysterious and probably its best.”
