Album Notes & Community Reviews

A dizzying, highly esoteric double album, '330,003 Crossdressers From Beyond the Rig Veda' captures the Sun City Girls at their most improvisational and global. The trio blends Southeast Asian folk music and Gamelan influences with incredibly raw avant-folk, creating a playful, psychedelic, and ritualistic sound collage.
