HoboSapiens

The Velvet Underground cofounder undergoes a startling rebirth with HoboSapiens, his most sonically exhilarating, lyrically passionate effort in two decades. Such darkly playful tunes as ”Magritte” seamlessly match the sixtysomething auteur’s sepulchral baritone with an assortment of modernist studio frills, making for an audacious marriage of restless experimentalism and eloquent melodic craft.
