A record of growls, squeaks, sing-along choruses, complex wordplay, and made-up words, tied together with bluegrass mandolin, banjo, accordion, rock 'n' roll drums, guitar, and the wildcat snarls of female vocalist Dannie Murrie. Child Bearing Man is commanding, emotionally and musically conflicted, and utterly moving. RIYL: Black Dice, Deerhoof, The Muppets, The Carter Family.
