Album Notes & Community Reviews

Wobble built the album with Molam Lao, Laotian musicians based in Europe, layering his bass and the Invaders of the Heart over khene mouth-organ patterns across twelve tracks and sixty-eight minutes. 'Molam Dub' was named among The Wire's fifty records of the year, an unlikely meeting of dub and Isan folk form.
