Kitchen Dwellers
In Dante’s Inferno, the author grapples with sin, its various manifestations, and its consequences. Kitchen Dwellers embark on a similar odyssey over the course of their fourth full-length offering, Seven Devils.
The Montana quartet—Shawn Swain [Mandolin], Torrin Daniels [Banjo], Joe Funk [Upright Bass], and Max Davies [Acoustic Guitar]—thread together an immersive and inimitable conceptual arc inspired by Dante’s Inferno and set to a soundtrack of folk-infused bluegrass spiked with psychedelic vision and rock energy.
“The record is a trip inward within the self,” Torrin concludes. “It tackles a lot of things in the world people try not to think about. The reality is we’re only truly happy when happiness comes from within. That’s the message.”
In the end, Kitchen Dwellers may just leave you changed with Seven Devils.
