American experimental vocalist and songwriter; active since the 1980s; founder/frontwoman of Ethyl Meatplow and The Geraldine Fibbers; solo albums include The Red Headed Stranger (2003) and Evangelista (2006, Constellation Records); collaborated with musicians from Godspeed You! Black Emperor/A Silver Mt. Zion.

Two DeBaser reviews frame Carla Bozulich as a fearless, expressionist voice: on Evangelista (2006) with Constellation’s dark orchestration, and on a hypnotic live set with Massimo Pupillo. The writing stresses tension-and-release, sacred/physical intensity, and a voice on the verge of breaking. References to collaborators from GY!BE/A Silver Mt. Zion recur. Overall tone: intense, immersive, and demanding.
