Slint - Spiderland

I got this album a few days ago and have been listening
to it nonstop. It has a certain magical quality to it that I
dig. Can anyone recommend something that is similar in style
and quality to this record? (I already have Young Team and
Lift Your Skinny Fists)

Ah... one of the few good things to come out of my hometown.
Their two track untitled EP is awesome as well. Good cover
art too.

Some Rodan has a similar quality. Maybe a bit of June of
'44. A lot of bands bite their style.

Is that the one with the gut shot in the snow? I could get
that today if it's worth it.

Yep.

Do you have Tweez? The EP has another version of one of the
tracks of that album. I think it's better than the
original.

I really like the first song on that CD (untitled ep).

Well, Don Cab is really good... but I wouldn't say they
sound anything like Slint.

But anyway, what DC records do you have? I like Don
Caballero 2 and What Burns a lot.

what burns
american don
singles breaking up

they are in the same family... not sounding the same. thats
the sad tuth of slint. you get veru little output of theirs
before their unfortunate demise. try a band called 'the for
carnation'. it is the singer and i think bassist from slint.
its as close as you are gonna get to more slint, dude.

gybe anbd mogwai are like the complete oppsoite ends of the
spectrum in the post rock scene compared to slint.

rodan
gastr de sol
the for carnation
bellini
don cab
explosions in the sky

all good stuff but some sounds nothing like slint

tweez is really raw and unpolished but excellent
nonetheless.
