Unwound - Leaves Turn Inside You
Died - Died EP
Shipping News - Flies the Fields
June of 44 - Four Great Points
lowercase - The Going Away Present
give those a listen
Have you listened to their EP?
youtube.com
Also if you haven't seen the Breadcrumb Trail documentary I'd recommend that. Gives a history of the band, the Lousiville scene in the 80s, and some fun stories
LTIY is getting there

>very different, no way near as good but still worth a listen as a fairly experimental noise rock album
>don, aman is my favourite
>the lyrics, production and performances create a uniquely sinister and creepy atmosphere
>june of 44, a minor forest, bastro, rodan all have a similar sound, even fugazi and unwound toyed with it. Shipping news and big ups too if you're looking for something more contemporary
I think when they did Tweez they were still experimenting and trying to find their sound. It's a good album that was key to achieve the masterpiece that is Spiderland. That said, Carol is one of their best and most powerful songs. It amazes me that they are able to convey that much raw emotion with just three lines.
>I SAID GOODBYE TO THE GROOOUUUNNDD
this album is the one that made me realise that there are "click" albums. I hated it at first.
Their EP is fucking good.
i made a list with similar albums

if anyones got suggestions i'll add them
Yup, more people need to realize that those exist
Tweez is a great album, but Spiderland is undeniably the greater of the two. I personally think that Washer > Good Morning, Captain > Breadcrumb Trail > Nosferatu Man > Don, Aman > For Dinner. Spiderland has interesting instrumentation, cool odd time signatures that don't go overboard, great guitar, bass and drum work, they were all fantastic players and at a young age too. Unwound - Leaves Turn Inside You is the closest I've found.
Many Slint fans seem to love Unwound, me included
They're two of the most well-known post-hardcore bands, so it's hardly surprising.
not at all in terms of similarity
Breadcumb Trail, Nosferatu Man
innovative concepts such as math rock drumming, spoken word lyrics, and tense guitars
yes. Science 1994 by Indian Summer and Today's Active Lifestyles by Polvo
And yet nobody knows about Unwound.
I really hope they one day get their well deserved attention. They were consistently putting out nearly flawless albums and none of it grabbed the attention of the masses.
I've been listening to them nonstop for over 2 years now and I'm not even tired of it. No other artist have held my attention for as long except Bruce Springsteen.
Soy. The thread. Fuck slint.
>Died EP
hell yeah. glad to see some love for Died on here
fuck off Slint is for chads
