LP – Limited Edition 180g Red Vinyl. Remastered by Bob Weston at Chicago Mastering Studio from the original analog master tapes. Only 3,000 pressed. Slint formed in 1986 as an outlet and pastime for four friends from Louisville, Kentucky. Their music was strange, wholly their own, sparse and tight. What immediately set them apart was their economy and precision. Slint were that rare band willing to play just one or two notes at a time and sometimes nothing at all 1989s Tweez LP hints at their genius Steve Albini (Melody Maker, 1991). From the original bio: Its almost always muddy in the lousy little shanty town by the river. All the childrens toys are old and rusty, even the plastic ones. Jimmy and Mel fashioned their own toy out of a live chicken that they stole. A knot was tied around the birds feet with a shoe lace. The two boys painted their plaything yellow and silver and swung it around like a lasso, screaming gibberish and laughing the whole time. Mel got so excited that he wet himself. So, Jimmy slugged him square in the eye. About five or eight miles south east of the shanty town all the fellows in SLINT were suffering from headaches, except the drummer, who only got them when the others didnt. Tracklist: Side A1. Ron2.
