Whorn
Introduction '''''Whorn''''' is the eighth album by the Minneapolis-based noise rock band The Cows. It was released on March 26, 1996, by Amphetamine Reptile Records.
Production ''Whorn'' was the band's first time working with Tim Mac since their fourth album ''Peacetika''. During the recording, Tim Mac opted for a "live sound," having the band play together as a whole instead of recording their parts individually.
Critical reception ''The Washington Post'' wrote: "This Minneapolis quartet blares and bleats, its shrillness occasionally augmented by the trombone squalls of singer Shannon Selberg, whose playing is almost as atonal as his singing. The band's new ''Whorn'' is perhaps not its most abrasive work, but it's hardly mellow."
Track listing Jikan begins with a distorted sample of a Japanese woman speaking, that begins at 0:00 ends at 0:06.The sample is followed by almost 10 minutes of silence (0:06 - 10:06). After the silence, there is a brief hidden track of the band performing a faster, funkier version of "The New Girl."
