I’m 30 years old (born in 93) and I randomly discovered these guys while diving into more underground alternative rock music, not disappointed for shit
I'm a little older by a couple years and discovered them recently as well. Not sure how they bypassed me, but easily one of my best internet discoveries, and I've been on the internet for a very long time.
One band with a very unique sound that really never sounded like any other band. They always did their thing and I think that’s why I always dug them deeply.
@stanisluaskatzcinski9956 No don't seek help...come to South Georgia and marry me. I love Slint and have been a fan since 1999! One of my greatest musical loves as a teen,aside from Elliott Smith.
@@ereynoldful3974 Come up a little ways to SE VA and be with your people. We love Slint and ES here and I bet your soulmate is just hanging out at the beach or something!
One of Slint's great secrets was to have one guitarist do all upstrokes and the other do all downstrokes when they were playing the same part, then panning one hard left and the other hard right. Thus, you get a stereo riff with both the emphasized high notes of the upstrokes and the more percussive quality of the downstrokes. The minutia they dug down to over the year Spiderland was written is incredible.
always find there's a real microphone mix issue because of the dynamics of the spoken work, feel they should maybe use 2 microphones for better stability. May be talking shite though.
Sekutnik100 I'd say it's because it hard to play his part and shout spoken word at the same time. I don't think Brian ever plays his guitar parts from Spiderland live (apart from Washer)
He added all his vocals on Spiderland after recording the music. I think when they played live he never did vocals, the songs were just instrumentals, so he probably can't play and sing at the same time.
Now THAT is how you mix a snare drum.
Thwak! His playing and his snare sound always reminded me a bit of Bill Bruford.
@@naranjojo thats probably why it sounds so good
@@naranjojoSome of the best drummers ever.
That’s how you hit a snare

@@moshersmusicAbout 100 times more people have listened to bands influenced by Slint, than have listened to Slint.

I agree. The lead has a very unique and distinct voice unlike anyone else.
Yeah man, they are all such great musicians. Also if you haven't watched their documentary breadcrumb trail it's so good. 👌 highly recommend
The only fair comparison out there is maybe June of 44
This song plays in my dreams

I've never had a chance to see them live. I'd love it if the did another tour next year.
Love how David Pajo always looks a mix of awkward/yeah so what🤷♂️. Cool as fuck.
Amazing
This mix is fucking perfect
david pajo's chord switching always amazes me
I loveeeee this
Musta had a hipster resurrrrgence I somehow missed. One of my all-time favorites. Way ahead and behind at once. Still fresh today
How purposeful their picking! Choosing to up-pick the entire lick. That's attention to detail!!

Just a compressor would do the trick
yes
A bunch of 15 year olds: hey guys wanna start a band?
straight up DOOM
Bingo
Why Brian didn't play guitar?
Sekutnik100 I'd say it's because it hard to play his part and shout spoken word at the same time. I don't think Brian ever plays his guitar parts from Spiderland live (apart from Washer)

turn the vocals up a bit maybe LMAO
They really don't look like they're having fun
This isn't exactly "fun" music.
Why the fuck does Brian look like Steve Mould here
Doomed
