This week we’re discussing every album by Silkworm. Made up of core members Tim Midyett, Andy Cohen, and Michael Dahlquist, Silkworm is a band that put in the time, effort, and heart, but never quite got their due. While in the same circles as bands like Pavement in the 90s and were longtime collaborators with Steve Albini, Silkworm had a style that was entirely their own, which didn’t exactly have mainstream appeal, to say the least. However, their fan base is rabid and dedicated. Plus, Tim and Andy were kind enough to give us their insights personally.
Closing track: “Xian Undertaker” from It’ll Be Cool (2004)
