“(O)ne of the underground’s strongest songwriting forces… Devoid of status-quo gimmickry and fanfare, Silkworm deserve to have their greatness acknowledged now.” – Alternative Press
“…Silkworm have moved above and below the cultural radar… The band’s signature sound, laced with an experimental approach to the formal elements of rock, has made them equally loved and ignored, depending on various fashions. Thankfully, however, Silkworm has never bothered to respond to fashion…” – Dusted
Eleventh Dream Day “New Moodio” repress!

Recorded and mixed in just a few days, there is an urgency and excitement that courses through these songs played by a band empowered by freedom and possibility.
