Referring to a band as the stage school Slint is pretty cruel. It's also unfair because their first album, 'For the first time' is actually pretty good. Listening to it there are hints of Slint and Nick Cave and probably the Tindersticks all of which are positives in my mind.
Musically they sound like they would be fun live although I don't think we will be seeing any live music for a while now. This is probably more of an issue for me as the 43 year old father of a one year old. I think my gig-going days are on hold for a while anyway.
The music has nice instrumental sections and some fairly funny lyrics. Not much distorted guitar but some good dynamics. Worth a listen.
