Slint - Spiderland

Ok, I'll admit the lack of diversity in this blog is getting silly. So here's the last rock based post for a little while. Stay tuned for some hip-hop, jazz, blues and country.

Spiderland could be considered a fluke. Slint's other offering "Tweez" was so amazingly turgid that it came to the point of unlistenable. That's why such a surprise came from Spiderland, a good solid fifty minutes of haunting guitars and whisper like vocals. This record is debatable the creator of the shoe gazer movement as well as having untold influences on post rock and other such ambient music. Here is my favourite track, chances are you'll find it a mixture of creepy yet moving and if you flat out don't like it then you're tasteless and there is no known cure for you.
