Great news, Slint lovers. The post-rock progenitors have finally added two US dates to their upcoming performance schedule. As part of ATP’s “Don’t Look Back” concert series, a reunited Slint will be playing their landmark second album, Spiderland, in its entirety for crowds around Europe and for two dates at New York City’s Webster Hall (7/17, 7/18).
Slint are often credited, along with Talk Talk, with launching the so-called “post-rock” genre, which also includes bands like Mogwai, Explosions in the Sky, and Godspeed You! Black Emperor. Although they broke up almost immediately after recording Spiderland, they’ve become something of indie-rock legends.
Slint guitarist David Pajo went on to play in Tortoise and Billy Corgan’s Zwan.
