I first heard Slint before they were called that, but the difference between them and their contemporaries was
already in concrete. From the outset they made music to
suit themselves, not an audience, and their dogged pursuit
of the sound of their imagination is still utterly
unique. Tendrils of continuity between the doom of heavy
metal, the drama of modernist classical music, and the
rude musk of punk may not be apparent at first glance,
but they glow like a web when illuminated by the fire of
Slint’s muse. Nobody thinks about their music, or music
itself, like Slint. Love this fucking band.
