Blueblood (album)
''Blueblood'' is the sixth full-length studio album by indie rock band Silkworm, released in 1998. Unlike other Silkworm releases, it was not recorded by their long-time engineer Steve Albini, though he is credited with mixing the record (he would record the band on their next album, '' Lifestyle''). It is the band's first album released on Touch and Go Records. Critical reception The ''Chicago Reader'' called the album "disappointingly flat and half-baked." ''Salon'' wrote that " imMidgett sings ragged and artless in the accepted indie style, but an endearing half-resigned, half-yearning melancholy is all he needs to put the wry words across." '' CMJ New Music Monthly'' called ''Blueblood'' "a stimulating mix of riff-fueled rants and more meandering tunes."

Silkworm (band)
Silkworm was an American indie rock band active from 1987 to 2005 whose core members were Tim Midyett, Andy Cohen, and Michael Dahlquist. History Origins: 1985–1987 Founding members Tim Midyett (formerly Midgett), Joel RL Phelps, and Andy Cohen began writing and performing under the name Ein Heit in Missoula, Montana from 1985 to 1987. In 1987, they adopted the name Silkworm. Relocation: 1987–1990 They relocated to Seattle in 1990, where they met drummer Michael Dahlquist. During a radio interview on WNUR at Northwestern University, Steve Albini called in to contact the band. Albini had attended Hellgate High School, the same high school that Phelps, Midyett, and Cohen attended in Missoula, Montana. This connection led to Albini recording the band's album '' In the West''. Phelps left the band in 1994 due to mental health issues and the rigors of touring. Matt Kadane of Bedhead and The New Year played keyboards on '' Italian Platinum'' and '' It'll Be Cool''. Breaku ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
