1971 - Comus - First Utterance [FULL ALBUM] [EXTENDED]

First Utterance is the debut album of the progressive folk band Comus, originally released on 19 February 1971.

First Utterance was notable for its unique blend of progressive rock, folk, psychedelia, and elements of paganism and the macabre.
The overall thematic tone of the album is of vulnerable innocence facing abusive power, with songs dealing with such themes as necrophilia ("Drip Drip"), rape ("Diana", "Song to Comus") and shock therapy ("The Prisoner"). The record features an acoustic sound, including acoustic guitar, violin, flute, and lyrical, almost Arcadian, female harmonies.

The cover artwork was drawn in ball point pen by Roger Wootton, lead singer and songwriter of the band. The centerfold artwork was painted by guitarist Glenn Goring.
