A low hum is the first thing heard. It's nearly an inaudible sound, like the opening of Beethoven's Ninth Symphony. Soon other instruments join and overlap: strings, guitar, and glockenspiel.
The inimitable Godspeed You Black Emperor returns with another soundtrack for our times. As the heretical anarcho-punk spirit of the title implies, Godspeed harnesses some particularly raw power.
Spiderland is the second and final studio album by the American rock band Slint. It contains six songs played over 40 minutes, and was released by Touch and Go Records on March 27, 1991.
Godspeed’s new album is an incredible and emotional gut punch – likely their best since their re-emergence. It’s incredibly memorable, heavy and rousing.
Exclusively for Record Store Day 2025, Touch and Go Records will release the 2023 tweethan mix of Tweez as a limited edition stand alone LP. Slint's bassist remixed tweez because he did not like how Steve Albini produced it! And that's this LP!
