Indie-folk sibling trio, Womb, is a portal to the cosmos. Raised from the woodlands on a diet of folk and fantasy, the Te Whanganui-a-Tara-via-Illinois three-piece band is formed of Gemini twins Charlotte Forrester (vocals, guitar), Haz Forrester (synth) and their sister Georgette Brown (drums). Womb’s cosmic live performances transmute the conventions of lo-fi, dream pop, shoegaze and ambient into an ecstatic expression of their family connection.
