KING HANNAH | A WELL-MADE WOMAN

Drums and percussion for A Well-Made Woman by King Hannah. ‘A Well-Made Woman’ finds Whittle’s dexterous scorched guitars decorate voodoo rhythms, while Merrick’s deeply sinister and darkly sardonic vocals slither and deliver a twist in the tail. “I wanna be a mother one day…something tells me I’ll be waiting a long, long, long time”.
