A brutally honest painter, writer, poet and musician, Childish enjoys what he calls “freedom through limitation,” utilizing lo-fi recording techniques that capture the sound he most enjoys. He has released over 100 records and we sample some of his music, read clips from interviews, and provide some background information on his life. Enjoy! Read the full description.
