Whorn is the eighth album by the Minneapolis-based noise rock band The Cows.

Production

Whorn was the band's first time working with Tim Mac since their fourth album Peacetika. During the recording, Tim Mac opted for a "live sound", having the band play together as a whole instead of recording their parts individually.
