Album Notes & Community Reviews

Born from a performance art piece in Los Angeles, this deeply esoteric cassette release features Anna Homler chanting entirely in an invented, phonetic language over Steve Moshier's pulsing, primitive synthesizers. The 'Breadwoman' character acts as an ancient, mythological conduit, delivering rhythmic, ritualistic incantations that sound both deeply ancient and intensely futuristic. Rediscovered decades later, the album is now highly revered as a masterpiece of tribal ambient and outsider electronic music.
