Slint - Spiderland (1991)

Slint - Spiderland

Slint definitely has their little spot in the rock music history books. Credited with launching (along with Squirrel Bait whose members are featured here, Rodan, and Crain) the post-rock and math-rock movements of the late 90s, Slint is the go-to for any music anthologist looking for that "little band that started it all". They split after only two full-lengths and one EP, but doesn't it seem like all these wildly influential bands were short-lived?

Keep in mind Isis, Neurosis, Godspeed, and Pelican fans, this isn't your post-rock. This is your Dad's post-rock, sophisticated and intricate but more rooted in Indie and Alternative Rock than metal or neo-classical. We played them on the show twice, and we sure like 'em. Check it out.
