W.a. Mozart - Salzburg Sacred Music [SUPER-AUDIO CD] Hybrid SACD date 01/24/2006

A notoriously self-reliant band, Silkworm swelled it's ranks considerably on Italian Platinum (originally released in 2002). Kelly Hogan (solo, The Pine Valley Cosmonauts) contributed backing vocals on several tracks and sang the hell out of InchYoung,Inch an outsized ballad that has no precise equivalent in the band's catalog. And Matt Kadane (Bedhead, The New Year) became the band's quasi-official keyboardist, troubling the waters with an organ bed here, a glowing piano line there, a greasy clavinet solo on InchWhite Lightning.Inch Still, Cohen, Midgett, and drummer Michael Dahlquist (who did get to sing now and then) remained at the core of Italian Platinum. You can hear their damn-everything confidence as individual musicians in the drum fills that stagger through InchBourbon Beard,Inch the Neil-Young-meets-Andy-Gill guitar solo that plays havoc with the chords of Inch(I Hope U) Don't Survive,Inch or the polluted, swaggering baritone guitar on InchDirty Air.Inch With each record, Silkworm were committed to pushing harder against what they knew they could do. Symbiosis defined this band, and you're better off hearing for yourself.
