Comedy Minus

Since Grazed is either the 14th or 16th record depending on how you count them (but who's counting?) by Eleventh Dream Day, a Chicago band with Kentucky roots. After 2015"s blistering guitar blast Works For Tomorrow, Janet Beveridge Bean, Rick Rizzo, and Douglas McCombs return alongside James Elkington and Mark Greenberg. The hour of music on this CD takes the long road home, spacing out at the wheel and reveling in the journey - celebrating those along for the ride. This is not a record about what is lost, but what is still there, however nicked up and grazed it may be. Built from the bottom up, the 12 songs here start simply with acoustic guitar and a voice and layer a lush symphony of sound over the band's most melodic tunes to-date.

The acclaimed, soulful, emotionally intense, and often transcendent first record by Bottomless Pit. As inviting as it is bracing. Members of Silkworm, Seam and .22. "8.3 - As fine a debut as folks could hope for." - Pitchfork.

Bottomless Pit's second album explores the awful and thrilling randomness of fate, with a hard fix on the future. Affectionate and brusque, languid and bracing - it is nearly peerless modern post punk. Members of Silkworm, Seam and .22. "Simmers with a heartbroken majesty all its own...soulful, uncompromising and evocative" - Alternative Press
