EPYSODE 47: "First Utterance" by Comus.

GUESTS: Roger Wooten, Bobbie Seagroatt (née Bobbie Watson), John Seagroatt.

Prepare to enter the shadowy woods of early ’70s Britain with "First Utterance", the bone-chilling debut from Comus...a band that pushed folk music into terrifying, transcendent new territory. In this epysode we explore the making, meaning, and enduring mystery of this cult classic, featuring exclusive commentary from two original members. From its unsettling lyrics to its wild instrumentation, discover why this album remains one of the most haunting and original LP's of its era.

I hope you dig "First Utterance" as much as I do.

- Farmer John
