SLINT
SPIDERLAND (TOUCH & GO)
Repressed/reissued 1991 version of seminal Slint album Spiderland! "I first heard Slint before they were called that, but the difference between them and their contemporaries was already in concrete.
From the outset they made music to suit themselves, not an audience, and their dogged pursuit of the sound of their imagination is still utterly unique.
Tendrils of continuity between the doom of heavy metal, the drama of modernist classical music, and the rude musk of punk may not be apparent at first glance, but they glow like a web when illuminated by the fire of Slint's muse.
Nobody thinks about their music, or music itself, like Slint. Love this fucking band." - Steve Albini, 2014
