The legendary full length debut of
Slint – a band who didn't last that long as a group, but who made music that would influence generations! At some level, this set represents a key musical crossroads – underground talents from the same Louisville scene that gave the world Squirrel Bait, recording up in Chicago with Steve Albini – still holding onto noisier modes of the 80s, but also creating some more thoughtful sonic expressions of the sort that would soon flourish during the post-rock years! The lineup is the stuff of indie rock legends – Brian McMahan on guitar and vocals, Britt Walford on drums, David Pajo on guitar, and Ethan Buckler on guitar – and titles include "Ron", "Carol", "Kent", "Charlotte", "Warren", "Pat", "Rhoda", and "Nan Ding". 2LP version also features the Tweethan mix of the album, by Buckler!
(Special 35th anniversary edition that includes a bonus album with a new alternate mix, expandable artwork, and extensive liner notes by Steve Albini!)
