Album DescriptionThe debut release from upstart Los Angeles band The Widow Babies could have been alternately titled The Lamb Lies Down In San Pedro. This six-song, 13-minute concept album features a brilliantly conceived story that pits Minutemen bassist and erstwhile folk hero Mike Watt against a world domination-minded vampire who looks like Abraham Lincoln. Produced and recorded by Asthmatic Kitty recording artist Chris Schlarb, the album features tightly focused songs that expand into Brazilian and West African rhythms while the raw energy hints at early influences of The Urinals, Die Monitr Batss, and yes, the Minutemen.
