FLOTUS ("FLOTUS", an abbreviation for "For Love Often Turns Us Still") is the twelfth studio album by American band Lambchop, released on November 4, 2016. It marked a significant stylistic departure for the group into more electronic-influenced territory, as heard by the instrumental emphasis on synthesizers and the Auto-Tune effects applied to singer-songwriter Kurt Wagner's voice.
