One Last Go With Silkworm

As mentioned here previously, Silkworm is preparing to release its final EP of new material. The EP, entitled Chokes, features four new songs (plus a cover of CCR's "Wrote a Song for Everyone") that the band had been working on prior to the unfortunate death of drummer Michael Dahlquist last year. The disc also includes a live cover of "Spanish Harlem Incident" as performed by the Crust Brothers, i.e., Michael, Tim and Andy of Silkworm and Stephen Malkmus, back in 2000.

Chokes is officially released on December 6th, but can be pre-ordered here. 12XU is streaming the first song from the EP:

"Bar Ice"

What a fantastic band. They will be missed.

(Thanks to Bradley's Almanac for the heads up on this!)
