Slint - “Breadcrumb Trail”
Spiderland, 1991

Slint’s Spiderland, one of the most important records in the history of everything ever, was released twenty years ago (twenty years ago!) this week. The album is a post-rock touchstone for every band you love.

You know what else was released twenty years ago this week? Mr. Big’s Lean Into It. Yin and yang, my friends.
