Album Notes & Community Reviews

Operating as a deeply eccentric cello trio, Melora Creager's project delivers a bizarre, highly theatrical debut. The album merges heavily distorted, rock-influenced cello playing with deeply historical, gothic narratives regarding Victorian life, medicine, and eccentric Americana.
