Wolf Songs for Lambs is the second and final studio album by American band Jonathan Fire*Eater.

[1] Shortly after the album's release the band split, with Paul Maroon, Matt Barrick, and Walter Martin going on to form The Walkmen with members of the Recoys.

Reviews for the album were positive, although some critics were reserved in their praise due to the hype surrounding the band and the acclaim for Tremble Under Boom Lights.

He further compared the group to Pavement, the Jon Spencer Blues Explosion, and the Make-Up, and concluded that "while the songwriting is uneven, the record still shows more style, substance and originality than most post-alternative guitar combos" and that while "it may not find Jonathan Fire*Eater fulfilling their potential... [it] remains a strong debut."
