This is the third release from Chicago's BOTTOMLESS PIT & without a doubt the most focused group of songs these guys have put to tape. Ex-SILKWORM members Tim Midgett & Andy Cohen have been playing together for quite awhile now & they're musical interactions are so fluid & make so much sense that it's easy not to notice how complicated the playing actually is. Fidelity has been a concern for these guys since the SILKWORM days & all the BOTTOMLESS PIT records sound great but this one in our opinion sounds the best. Many of the songs feature clean guitars with tightly recorded drum sounds & dry-as-they-can-be vocals. There are a few rockers though with Cohen straining his voice at times & the group waving their Crazy Horse flag proudly. This album has a lot of variety & you'll find that it's ending just as you're getting into it, a true sign of an excellent record. Yeah, some of this reminds us of SILKWORM, some things going all the way back to "Libertine" but we want to make clear, this is album is 100% BOTTOMLESS PIT & it's one of the best indie rock records that will come out in 2010. The band spared no expense on the beautiful vinyl edition with a thick gatefold sleeve, 45RPM LPS for optimum fidelity & full-color printed inner sleeves.
