Spoken word piece created for Jon Solomon's 2022 "25-Hour Holiday Radio Show" on WPRB in Princeton, NJ.

Cracker Barrel

Recorded December 2022 for Jon Solomon's 25 hour Holiday Radio Show Marathon on WPRB. 

you left the lights up 
till god crashed the party
face to the window 
fogging up your dreams 
friends growing sinister
plotting your death

you left the lights up
on public display 
for all the demons and angels to pray
the game kept pulsing 
long after we'd fallen out

maybe it's better
if we don't hash it out 
over drinks and smoke
flesh falling from our mouths

you left the lights up 
and covered up your eyes
bad actors acting like
the elders were surprised 
their graves were mobilized 
their engines were already cold 

maybe it's better
if we don't hash it out 
over drinks and smoke
flesh falling from our mouths
maybe I don't wanna know
that your heart will turn to salt
that the game keeps pulsing 
long after we log out

leave the lights up
we're still here
leave the lights up
we're still here
leave the lights up
we're still here
leave the lights up
we're still here
leave the lights up
we're still here
leave the lights up
we're still here
leave the lights up
we're still here
leave the lights up
we're still here

Bottomless Pit was formed in the fall of 2005 by erstwhile Silkworm members Tim Midgett and Andy Cohen.

Their longtime friends Chris Manfrin (Seam) and Brian Orchard (.22) complete the quartet.

2007 finds the group playing "their blues" - soulful, emotionally intense, and often transcendent postpunk that is as inviting as it is bracing.

"Hammer of the Gods" is the first Bottomless Pit album. It is the first release from New Jersey's Comedy Minus One records. It was released November 6, 2007.

Nice things people have said:

"Album of the year." - Questionable Content

"I can't recommend picking up this album enough." - Built On A Weak Spot

"Truly transcendent." - Alternative Press

"I highly recommend this darkly and dryly spectacular LP." - The Village Voice

"It's perfect." - Flux Rad

"Reveals new subtleties with every listen." - Spin

"Another high-water mark." - Time Out Chicago

"As fine a debut as folks could hope for." - Pitchfork

"Fiercely intelligent." - Dusted
