Bleep

This math rock classic gets a welcome re-release. A recent recipient of the Pitchfork's perfect 10, this second album from Louisville's Slint switches at will from abstract spoken word to screaming passion, all the while its complex instrumental arrangements setting a benchmark for 90s rock. Produced by highly regarded studio man Brian Paulson, it was borne out of a reputedly difficult recording session - with band members allegedly being institutionalised along the way. As such it is a difficult work, yet no less enthralling more than two decades after its release.
