Lamb is an electronic music duo from Manchester, England, known for their Trip hop and drum and bass influenced sound. The duo is comprised of producer Andy Barlow, who also produces under the pseudonym Hipoptimist, and singer-songwriter Louise Rhodes.
They received acclaim throughout Europe (particularly the United Kingdom and Portugal), Australia and the Americas, especially for their hit singles "Gorecki" and "Gabriel". By far, their best-known track to date is "Gorecki", from their eponymous debut album. The song is inspired by Henryk Górecki's Third Symphony, the Symphony of Sorrowful Songs. Part of the lyrics to Gorecki were used by Baz Luhrmann for some of Satine's lines in Moulin Rouge!, and the track is rumoured to have been covered by Nicole Kidman. It has also been used in an advertisement for Guinness as well as an advertisement for the Tomb Raider: Underworld video game.
