INVARIABLE HEARTACHE is an album inspired by a shared love of Nashville and its musical traditions. Lambchop’s Kurt Wagner – a long time champion of the city’s history and charms – and Cortney Tidwell – whose family have, for decades, played a significant part in the city’s (country) musical life – are both fervent admirers of the music that has emerged from the city. – CitySlang.com

The story behind Invariable Heartache is also told in an eloquent and moving mini documentary. ‘Bringing Chart Records Back To Life’, filmed in Nashville, by Zack Spiger. – CitySlang.com

Omega Dog was completely shot using Apple’s 4th generation iPod Touch. The scenes with Murray on the sidewalk was also lit using a Blackberry. It took 40 helium balloons to lift the iPod above the buildings on a freezing cold bustling Saint-Laurent boulevard in Montréal. Thanks Adam for making it happen!
