Album Notes & Community Reviews

Teaming up with producer Jim O'Rourke, the legendary American primitive guitarist radically departs from his traditional acoustic fingerpicking. 'Womblife' plunges into harsh, ominous avant-garde territory, utilizing heavy tape delay, musique concr猫te editing techniques, and brooding electric guitar drones to craft a deeply unsettling, late-career masterpiece.
