Womb

FACEBOOK EVENT

Womb is made up of siblings Cello Forrester (vocals, guitar, strings), Haz Forrester (synth, guitar), and Georgette Brown (drums). Their music is a composite of the three and builds on the shoegaze and dream pop sounds they are inspired by.

Whilst the band formed in Po¯neke, Aotearoa in 2015, music has always been central to the siblings’ relationship throughout their lives. In the flat cornfield suburbs of Illinois, Georgette would share Limewire mp3s between the three. Before then, their older siblings would show them music when they lived in a eucalyptus forest near Daylesford, Australia. After moving to Po¯neke in their teenage years, the three grew alongside the music community they found there.

Since their inception, Womb have released their first self-titled Womb EP (Sonorous Circle, 2015), their debut album Like Splitting the Head from the Body (Arcade Recordings and Sonorous Circle, 2018), and their second EP, Holding a Flame (Flying Nun Records, 2021). Their sophomore album, Dreaming Of The Future Again, was released via Flying Nun Records in 2022.

Womb have toured many times nationally around New Zealand, as well as taking their sound abroad to Hobart’s Hobienalle in 2019, and touring mainland China in 2019 with friend and booking manager Kristen Ng/Kiwese/Kaishandao. 

Cello, Haz, and Georgette are all Cancer risings.
