Lay it Down In Full View: Collected Writings On Silkworm And Their Music is the first ever book about the band Silkworm. Three years in the making, its 416 pages are packed with critical analysis and ecstatic celebration of Silkworm and their music. The 14 essays in this landmark tome adopt a range of approaches from memoir and historiography to music criticism.
Written by Silkworm fans - including Jonah Bayer, Rosy Overdrive, and Brian James Schill - to honor this great American rock band, Lay It Down In Full View features cover art by the legendary Hiroshi Kimura, 32 full color pages, and a brand new exclusive interview of Andy Cohen and Tim Midyett from Silkworm with Matt Kadane. The book was edited and collected by journalist Paul Duffus.
Tim Midyett of SKWM says: "Lay It Down In Full View is persistently thoughtful and insightful to a degree that is both flattering and shocking. So often I found myself reading about references, coruscations, and quirks so lost to time that it was as if I was just finding out about them. This book is a gift for us, and it captures the spirit of Silkworm beautifully. Forever we are in debt to all who took part.”
This softcover book is 9” x 6” in size.
