Lessons for Mutants is the sixth solo LP by prolific songwriter Johanna Warren and her second for Wax Nine/Carpark Records. Lessons for Mutants was tracked live with a band to two-inch tape�a revelatory new way of working for Warren. The album�s running theme of metamorphosis reflects major changes in Warren�s personal life: after a decade of relentless touring, as the world was closing its borders, the American multi-instrumentalist unexpectedly found herself quarantining in rural Wales, where she�s now permanently homesteading. The body of work that emerged from this dramatic about-face is Warren�s most dynamic to date, shapeshifting seamlessly from searing punk screams to sparkly psych-folk soundscapes, from the bootleg ambivalence of Dylan�s Basement Tapes to cosmic stoner grooves reminiscent of Black Sabbath�s acoustic moments.
