Your Music Sucks

For any fan of Silkworm, it’s impossible to listen to Bottomless Pit without remembering Michael Dahlquist - if not for the senseless tragedy that took his life, the band simply wouldn’t exist. Their new album “Hammer Of The Gods” will make for some bittersweet listening, as you can’t help but reflect on the “what if’s?” and “why’s” that surround such an event. For everyone else, this is just a fantastic record. While not a huge departure from the Silkworm sound, Tim Midgett and Andy Cohen have brought a slightly somber, more refined tone than the shambolic cacophony of guitars occasionally found in their previous efforts.

Bottomless Pit is playing at the Knitting Factory on July 11th, with the Kadane Brothers.
