Ever what Soundgarden might sound like after being locked in a room with a batch of pot brownies and a steady diet of Pentagram LPs? I think you know where I'm going with that. Small Stone Record brings forth another winner in their long list of winners.

How does one make sonic magic? Well, start with a good production and catchy song writing and then proceed with an excellent rhythm section, finally, top all this off with a collection of dazzling riffs, solos and a fine vocal performance. All this considered I believe that Dwellers have concocted quite the musical brew.

Toscano's wah-wah-lovin' geetar also conjures up old-school Screaming Trees on the extended jam "Vultures," where the long-term working relationship between his rhythm peers definitely comes in handy -- as it does on the slow-crawling, pent-up tension of closer "Old Honey," featuring echoed vocals in the Sons of Otis wheelhouse. Another cut, the punchy "Lightning Ritual," shows unusual restraint and succinctness, so at least we know Dwellers can accomplish such feats of self-editing, if they so wish.

...Rituals of Skin and Bones...Recommended without reservation both to those who experienced Iota and those who didn't.

This hearkens back to Facelift era AIC and has a bit of a Soundgarden feel to it as well. 

Got one of those trial memberships to e-music and nabbed this and the new Tia Carrera. 

So far so good.
Killing threads is my business and business is good.

Ive been listening to these songs live for awhile, but I sat down with this record at the gym last night and listened from start to finish.
I really dig it a lot. I definitely get a little Soundgarden vibe on first track Secret Revival. Super great tones on the record.
