| Profile: | Slint was formed in the late eighties and has released two critically acclaimed albums that, to this day, are unrivaled in their intensity and beauty. Tweez, Slint's first record, was originally released on the Jennifer Hartman Records label in 1988 and re-issued by Touch and Go in May of 1993. Spiderland, number two for the band and the first released by Touch and Go, saw daylight in April of 1991. Both records have gone on to become highly successful and seem to increase in popularity with each passing week. 1994 saw the release of an untitled single. It contains a new version of "Rhoda" taken from the Tweez album and one previously unheard song which mirrors more the beauty of Spiderland. Whether or not this single acts as fitting homage signalling the end of Slint, or lights the way for a new era, is open to interpretation. |
