Biography
Louisville, United States (1986 – 1991, 2005 – 2005, 2007 – 2007)
Slint’s first album Tweez was recorded by legendary engineer Steve Albini in 1987 and released in obscurity on the Jennifer Hartman Records label in 1989. It was followed two years later by the critically acclaimed Spiderland, released on the legendary independent label Touch and Go Records. Considered a seminal work, Spiderland is an album characterised by its dark, syncopated rhythms, sparse guitar lines and haunting subject matters. The record’s impact was such that, according to some, it helped to usher in a new wave of bands seeking a move away from the unfettered aggression of hardcore punk but not its underlying ethic. The cover of Spiderland is from a series of photos of the band taken by the Louisville singer-musician Will Oldham. Spiderland culminates in the baleful “Good Morning, Captain”, perhaps their most recognised track (it would later feature on the soundtrack to the Larry Clark film Kids, though not in the film itself). Touch & Go reissued Tweez in 1993. Finally, in 1994 a brief untitled EP was released posthumously.

@MegamanXL What the fuck did you just fucking say about me, you little bitch? I’ll have you know I graduated top of my class in the Beatle Army, and I’ve been involved in numerous secret raids on Slint fans, and I have over 300 confirmed kills.

Spiderland = so many feels

I feel like Slint are continually mislabelled or uncategorised as a band. They're rightfully far more associated with math rock than post-rock, but even then I think of their music as mostly being post-hardcore more than anything else

Tweez is so overlooked, man. it's almost the superior album for me

So uh, what makes Spiderland so amazing? I understand that it's the grand-daddy of post rock but it wasn't the 10/10 album I was expecting.
