The record's greatest Slints Spiderland might be the boundless inspiration it perpetually provides for all the bands that have yet to emerge from the basement. And just what did Slint think their audience—who, judging from the faint smattering of applause, barely cracked the double digits— needed to hear at that moment? In many respects, the story Slints Spiderland Slint is an exceedingly familiar one of influence accruing in absentia, of mavericks who were ignored in their time and had to wait years to get their due. Through their initial existence, Slint were obscure Slints Spiderland even within the subterranean confines of the American indie-rock underground. Compared to the get-in-the-van, play-anywhere ethic practised by fellow s-hardcore students, Slint rarely performed live, and when they did, it was rarely as a headliner. Slints Spiderland were scarce; band photos all the more so. And with the similarly atmospheric, equally explosive likes of Mogwai and Godspeed You! Black Emperor dominating the lates indie-rock conversation, Slint ceased to be just some band that had broken up too soon and became an entire subgenre of Slints Spiderland unto itself. I mean, just look at the cover of the Slints Spiderland set—notice something missing? The demos practically break down Spiderland on a riff-by-riff basis, as we hear the songs devolve from pre-production dress rehearsals to rudimentary acoustic sketches recorded on cassette. When Slint began working on the songs that would form Spiderland inthe initial wave of post-hardcore indie rock was on the wane, with scene stalwarts either trading up the major label-bound Sonic Youth and Dinosaur Jr. Slints Spiderland accentuating lyrics that were muttered rather than screamed, all enhanced by a strategic use of space that meant the silences between the notes accumulated their own crushing Slints Spiderland. And that seemed to be the case for the band itself. Their drifting, meandering nature suggests returning to the same headspace was Slints Spiderland daunting a proposition. Brashear—who wasn't involved in the reunion Slints Spiderland now runs a video store. It's only now that he's reemerging with his first proper band in two decades, Watterwhose debut album comes out next month Slints Spiderland Temporary Residence. Spiderland has always felt like the work of old, wizened souls who had endured great physical and psychological trauma and barely survived to impart their cautionary tales. Slint may have a great band, but they were even better actors. Slints Spiderland to content Search query All Results. Pitchfork is the most trusted voice in music.

Slints Spiderland guess is Rainbo just ran out of the Slints Spiderland labels for part of a run. The poster was a horizontal image of a spider taken through a microscope by Noel Saltzman.

Awesome album, still enjoy it as much now as I did when I first bought it. Slints Spiderland Notify me Helpful. I find this record a masterpiece. The circolary sound of the guitars moves me still so much. The poor package, as an hiding place of a treasure. For me Spiderland is rather boring. It's all so pretentious, predictable, planned. The folky guitar parts make the front cover hearable: nothing happens, waiting in the water, speaking to yourself to stay awake. Crimsonlies June 3, Report.

Brian Paulson engineered the album, which comprises six songs across approximately 40 minutes. Slint formed in Louisville, Kentucky in The band members met as teenagers playing in the Midwestern punk scene, but Slint soon diverged from their hardcore roots. By the time they recorded Spiderland in latethey had developed a complex, idiosyncratic sound. Atypical rhythmic metersharmonic dissonanceand irregular song structures characterize the album's style. The band exerted tight control over the Slints Spiderland dynamics with extreme, sometimes abrupt changes between quiet and loud. The vocals alternate between spoken word, singing, and shouting. The narrative lyrics evoke moods of unease, loneliness, and despair. Slint broke up shortly before the album's release. At first, Spiderland prompted little critical notice and negligible sales. Over the next two decades, it sold at a slow but steady pace and its influence grew. The record's alien sound anticipated the emergence of math rock and post-rock in the mids. It attracted a cult followingand critics recognized it as a milestone of experimental rock. SinceSlint reunited for three tours performing the album live in its entirety. InTouch and Go released a remastered version of the album Slints Spiderland a deluxe box set with bonus material.

The band's debut album, the Steve Albini -produced Tweezwas released on the group's self-owned label Jennifer Hartman Records and Tapes. The EP, which would not be released untilwas a departure from Tweez 's sound and reflected the band's new musical direction. Around this time [ when? At that time there were no vocals or lyrics prepared for the album, so the band wrote them while in the Slints Spiderland. I've never heard anything like this. I'm really digging this but it's really fucking weird. The recording sessions for Spiderland are reputed to have been difficult Slints Spiderland the members of the band and were, according to AllMusic"intense, traumatic and one more piece of evidence supporting the theory that band members had to be periodically institutionalized during the completion of the album. The music of Spiderland is noted for its angular guitar rhythms, dramatically alternating dynamic shifts and irregular time Slints Spiderland. McMahan's singing style interchanges between mumbling spoken word and strained shouting. The lyrics of Spiderland are often written in a narrative style. The album's opening track, "Breadcrumb Trail", describes Slints Spiderland day spent at a carnival with a fortune-teller. Delivered in a hushed tone, the song's ambiguous lyrics depict the thoughts of an "isolated soul" before, after and during an evening at a bar. On the iTunes edition of the album, an additional track is added to the end of the album, entitled "Utica Quarry, Slints Spiderland. The Slints Spiderland is simply 15 minutes of field recordings of Utica Quarry, the same place where the photos for Spiderland were taken. The name Spiderland originates from Slints Spiderland younger brother, who thought that the record sounded "spidery". Listeners pondered the band's sparsely adorned black-and-white covers as if they were runes bearing secrets. The back cover features a photograph of a dead wolf spider taken by Noel Saltzman, who was also responsible for the uncredited cover photo for the band's untitled EP. McMahan confirmed that this message was serious, and said Slints Spiderland did get some responses and we did listen to CDs and tapes. We didn't end up Slints Spiderland anything immediately, so that idea of adding someone sort of fell by the wayside. Slint broke up in December in the middle of final preparations for Spiderland ' s release. The album's release passed virtually unnoticed by the American music press. We definitely avoided it and it was not a considered marketing decision.
