Too many people still sleep on slint

I think it goes along with Drone music

Perhaps Spiderland reissue will put them back on the map?

 

[Abject]

I hope so. I mean, they're fairly well known given the circumstances but people are missing out.
I really should grab the remaster. I'm about to peep "Breadcrumb Trail" the doco they released with it.
I wonder if they pressed the new master on vinyl

 

[coelophysis]

They did a limited number of them

Hrsta doesn't get the love it deserves.

Too many people still sleep on slint

I hear waaay more about those two bands than The Evpatoria Report.



Slint were pioneers and Hrsta . . . well okay, Hrsta does get slept on.

 

[coelophysis]

I like Evpatoria Report. But they sort of fit in that bracket of Mogwai coat tailers. Not in a bad way though.
But their 18 Robins Road song or whatever has a completely stolen from Mogwai section during the last 6 minutes or so.
When I'm less lazy I will post the two tracks so you can hear for yourself.


For now here's a couple Hrsta tracks for anyone interested.

You can really hear how Mike Moya played a big part in GYBE. There is lots of leftover GYBE in Hrsta





^ At 6 minutes it really is pretty indistinguishable from a GYBE track imho.

wel apparently they're reunited, and playing at fyf this year.

Ambient and melodic and all-round beautiful acoustic and subtley distorted guitars

 

[Max Power]

My favorite HRSTA track. And you're right, the influence is huge. Doesn't quite have that 'wall-of-sound' that hits you in the face the way Godspeed does, but hey, sometimes I don't want that. Sometimes I want a more mellow, chill, subtle kinda post rock.

 

[on_the_rugs]

What about the other godspeed side project :D



the peak is just perfect

 

[mabzie55]

Yeah Godspeed. Hell yeah dude.

So pissed they didn't open for NIN and I got stuck for stupid explosions in the sky for my portion of the tour.

Fuck.

But yeah, so fucking good.

Post Rock Thread vers "Just wait, it gets better in a couple minutes."

Ha. I crack myself up.

I think I've posted this one before:

Back TTT for this thread, yo...

in the Summer of 2004, I went to the Knitting Factory (old location on Leonard, or whatever it was) to see SUNN0))) and High on Fire. SUNN0))) was so fucking deep and penetrating -- the experience felt like a religious rite. i had probably been chasing the dragon earlier that night.
