"Though largely overlooked during their relatively brief lifespan, Slint grew to become one of the most influential and far-reaching bands to emerge from the American underground rock community of the 1980s; innovative and iconoclastic, the group's deft, extremist manipulations of volume, tempo, and structure cast them as clear progenitors of the post-rock movement that blossomed during the following decade."(Allmusic.com) The group grew out of Louisville, Kentucky's legendary Squirrel Bait (which I'll introduce in a later entry) and their short life spread on to bands Gastr del Sol, Bastro, Tortoise, the Breeders, Will Oldham's Palace. Slint themselves did shortly regroup to perform their masterpiece album Spiderland in 2007, but obviously only for that occasion. I love their piece Rhoda best and used to have it as profile song on my MySpace page.
