| | Slint brought a dynamic sensibility to their music, something almost none of the punk bands before them had focused on. | | | Spiderland sounded both visceral and cerebral, and the band's deliberate and steady pace was a coming-of-age for punk. | | | Or you should, at least, because that is the cover image on Slint's 1991 album Spiderland, an indie-rock watershed that, in the wake of energetic '80s punk, brought dynamic sensibility and precision to the genre. |

| | Slint had outgrown its noise-rock beginnings, and the slow, nearly wordless songs that the band performed that night were something new. | | | Slint spawned so many imitators—Mogwai may be the best known—that the band became a genre within indie rock, a style in which boys, choked with emotion and capable only of murmurs or shouts, play each song more slowly than it wants to be played, and find deep significance in their every utterance. | | | As unlike each other as two rock bands could be, Slint and Slaughterhouse had roots in a subgenre of nineteen-eighties independent rock which was sometimes called “pigfuck” by the music press, and which was exemplified by Big Black, a band known for its harsh sounds and shock tactics. |

| | Slint / March 19, 2005 / New York (Irving Plaza) |
| | Slint is the ultimate example of a band whose music does the proverbial talking, expressing imminently more emotion than its members evince on stage. | | | Shortly thereafter, Slint vanished forever (a self-titled two-song EP released in 1994 was actually recorded between the two full-lengths). | | | To be sure, the band sounded exceedingly well-rehearsed; while Pajo would never so much as toss off a Slint riff while playing live with Aerial/Papa M or as a solo artist, one always knew he could have suddenly started playing any of the band's songs with ease if he'd wanted to. |

| | The eponymous EP features two nameless songs recorded between the band's albums that provide a useful illustration of Slint's transformation, as well as suggesting the secondary nature of lyrics. | | | Formed by former Squirrel Bait members Brian McMahan (guitar) and Britt Walford (drums) with guitarist David Pajo and bassist Ethan Buckler, Slint ruptured the impenetrably dense facade of late-'80s ugly rock. | | | While the Louisville quartet's 1989 debut Tweez (actually recorded in 1987, with Steve Albini) posits a variety of then-functionless tactics, approaches and strange sonic schematics, it set the stage for what was to come on the second installment of the band's troubled existence. |

| | Before Slint, there were Squirrel Bait, a mid-'80s melodic hardcore group that included the teenage McMahan and David Grubbs on guitars, the young Britt Walford on drums, and a whelp of a lad, Pete Searcy, on vocals. | | | I discovered Slint in the early '90s, post-breakup, a band spoken of by other musicians I knew, almost urban legends barring the physical evidence of their three records. | | | When I think of Slint, I cannot help but remember being at a party in Berkeley where in one corner, instead of drinking a beer and playing "Stairway to Heaven" on an acoustic guitar, someone was playing "Washer." No, it wasn't me, but I was paying close attention. |

| | Hailing from Louisville, Kentucky, Slint recorded this, their first release in 1987, and as the cover proudly states, "This recording is meant to be listened to on vinyl" -- I presume that explains the lack of song info on my CD reissue. | | | A word of warning, when you first listen to this recording you may be tempted to turn up the volume a wee bit too much during the quiet periods -- Slint can turn on you at the most unpredictable times and have you scrambling to tear your headset away from your bleeding ears. | | | This second offering (and likewise vinyl intended recording) steps beyond the often derivative Big Black sound of Tweez and establishes Slint's own style. |

| | She was exaggerating on both counts: it’s been just 14 years since Slint broke up, and the strange silent breaks the band took between each of the 13 songs they played lasted only a minute or two. | | | But that’s a long time to leave an eager audience waiting, especially in the absence of anything resembling a "hello" from singer Brian McMahon, who eschewed the convention of standing center stage facing forward in favor of positioning himself stage right, perpendicular to the crowd. | | | Yet once they kicked into "Breadcrumb Trail," a signature tune from Slint’s epic 1991 album Spiderland (Touch and Go) full of tricky tempo shifts, oblique chordings, undulating arpeggios, rich harmonic overtones, and McMahon’s spoken-word poetics, a warm wave of pleasure seemed to wash over the reverent crowd. |

| | Most interestingly, however, is how even a seething angularity to songs like "Nosferatu Man" (disquieting, vampirish stop-starts) or "Good Morning, Captain" (a murmuring nod to "The Rime of the Ancient Mariner") certainly signaled the beginning of the end for the band. | | | Even casual listeners will be able to witness an experimental power-base that the American underground has come to treasure. | | | Indeed, the lumbering quiet-loud motif has been lifted by everybody from Lou Barlow to Mogwai, the album's emotional gelidity has done more to move away from prog-rock mistakes than almost any of the band's subsequent disciples, and it's easy to hear how the term "Slint dynamics" has become an indie categorization of its own. |
