Temporal Cove w/ Slint

From the host: _"Song selections from Slint (Brian McMahan and Dave Pajo) + an interview on working with Steve Albini, Spiderland, and more. This is Temporal Cove with rock legends Slint." _ "The sun was setting by the time we left We walked across the deserted lot, alone We were tired, but we managed to smile" "SLINT was formed in the late eighties and released two critically acclaimed records that, to this day, are unrivaled in their intensity and beauty. Tweez, Slint’s first record, was released on the minuscule Jennifer Hartman Records and Tapes label in 1989 and later reissued by Touch and Go Records in May of 1993. Spiderland, number two for the band and the first released by Touch and Go, saw daylight in April of 1991. Both records have gone on to become highly successful and seem to increase in popularity with each passing week. Comparisons to Slint’s music are innumerable but never well founded." "After playing in various bands within the tight-knit Louisville Punk scene, including Languid & Flaccid and Squirrel Bait, drummer Britt Walford, guitarist David Pajo, guitarist/vocalist Brian McMahan, and original bassist Ethan Buckler formed SLINT. In 1987, the foursome recorded their first album, Tweez, in Chicago with Steve Albini, who also produced albums for the Pixies, PJ Harvey, and Nirvana. Ethan Buckler left the band after Tweez to pursue his own vision with his band King Kong and was replaced by Todd Brashear. By the fall of 1989, the members of SLINT had scattered to various colleges throughout the Midwest." "Then, over four days in August of 1990, SLINT recorded their second album, Spiderland, and the world would never again sound the same. The music is taut, menacing, and haunting - its structure built largely on absence and restraint, on the echoing space between the notes, but punctuated by sudden thrilling blasts of unfettered fury. It is a sound that no one had heard before and that no one will ever forget. Spiderland spawned a whole new genre, frequently called Post-Rock, and came to be regarded as one of the most important and influential records of the past thirty years." _"SLINT broke up shortly before Spiderland was released in 1991. Band members went on to play in Tortoise, the Breeders, The Palace Brothers, The For Carnation, Papa M, Evergreen, Interpol, and the Yeah Yeah Yeahs." _ _"SLINT reunited for a limited series of tour dates in 2005, 2007, and 2013." _
