History

Slint's first album Tweez was recorded by Steve Albini in 1987 and released in obscurity on the Jennifer Hartman Records label in 1989. It was followed two years later by the critically acclaimed Spiderland, released on Touch and Go Records. Considered a seminal work, Spiderland is an album characterized by dark, syncopated rhythms, sparse guitar lines and haunting subject matter. The record's impact was such that some have suggested it is the first true post-rock album, helping to usher in a new wave of bands seeking a move away from the unfettered aggression of hardcore punk but not its underlying ethic. The cover of Spiderland is from series of photos of the band taken by the Louisville singer-musician Will Oldham. Spiderland culminates in the baleful "Good Morning, Captain", perhaps their most recognized track (it would later feature on the soundtrack to the Larry Clark film Kids, though not in the film itself). Touch & Go Records reissued Tweez in 1993. Finally, in 1994 a brief untitled EP was released after the band broke up. This two song record was actually recorded in 1989 and was originally intended to be released as a 12" single on Jennifer Hartman Records. Original copies of the Tweez LP included a flyer advertisement for the 12" as an insert. However, Slint signed to Touch & Go Records before it was sent to press and the master tapes were shelved. It contained a previously unreleased track ("Glenn") and a reinterpretation of "Rhoda" from Tweez. Tweez is the debut album by American indie rock group Slint. ...

Members of Slint have since appeared in a number of bands. Former guitarist David Pajo currently performs under the moniker PAJO and also plays bass for the NYC street metal band Early Man. Pajo was also a member of Tortoise, Palace, and the short-lived Billy Corgan-fronted rock band Zwan before their breakup in 2003. Guitarist Brian McMahan formed The For Carnation in 1994 and also played with Palace. Britt Walford played drums in Evergreen, and for The Breeders under the pseudonym Shannon Doughton on the album Pod and as Mike Hunt on the Safari EP. Ethan Buckler plays in King Kong (the original line up of Slint makes up King Kong on the 1989 7" "Movie Star"). David Pajo is an alternative rock musician. ...

Nearly 15 years after disbanding, three members of Slint — Brian McMahan, David Pajo, and Britt Walford — reunited to curate the 2005 All Tomorrow's Parties music festival in Camber Sands, England. Also in 2005, Slint played a number of shows in the U.S. and in Europe.^[1] Though they insisted the reunion was short-term, the band regrouped once again in 2007 to perform their genre-defining record 'Spiderland' in its entirety in Barcelona as part of the Primavera Sound Festival, in London as part of the ATP Don't Look Back series of shows, as well as a a handful of dates in Europe and the US. In addition to performing the album and the Glenn/Rhoda EP, they also debuted a new composition called "King's Approach", hinting that the band may be considering a full-time reunion.^[2] David Pajo is an alternative rock musician. ...
