“Musicians often get shuffled like a deck of cards until the right hand comes up aces. Case in point: Salt Lake City sludge trio the Ditch and the Delta. Guitarist Elliot Secrist and drummer Charles Bogus have been honing their steel for years in various outfits. Enter bassist-vocalist Kory Quist of Making F*ck, and here is a lineup to be reckoned with. Musically, it’s a refreshingly original take on territory that has otherwise been tread into the ground. It’s heavy as hell (a la Neurosis), rhythmically twisted (a la Melvins), and keeps things hooky and melodic without ever going soft (a la Lost Goat)”. -Nate Carson
