Kent Lambert

Born 1976 - Colorado Springs, Colorado

Kent Lambert is a Chicago-based musician and media artist. His creative output primarily consists of 1) vocal driven art-pop music and 2) pop-inflected video art made from repurposed industrial and commercial media. His ever-mutating band Roommate has been performing stateside and abroad for over a decade. Their fourth album MAKE LIKE was released in 2015.

Lambert on his work: 

In my music and video work, I search for intersections between 1) meditative interrogation of society and self 2) textural and tonal intrigue and beauty 3) absurdist and/or humanist humor and 4) cathartic emotional expression. A primary underlying motivation of my video work is to reflect, critique and ultimately transcend American zeitgeists and my own consumption within them.
