Tweez (35th Anniversary Edition)
Remastered by Bob Weston from the original analog tapes, Slint's rawer-than-raw 1989 debut sounds even better than we remember on this 35th anniversary reissue, laying out the framework for their later math rock innovations.
Sketchy and impressively bare-boned, 'Tweez' was an early proof-of-concept for David Pajo and co. They'd improve the formula on their perennially influential 'Spiderland', that arrived a couple of years later, but there's a refreshing lack of shine to this one that's helped it retain its charm. We can hear the band's influences far more clearly here: the angularity and grit of heavy metal on 'Charlotte', the traces of garage punk on 'Warren' and even a gust of country on the swinging 'Pat'.
But Slint's ambition - and their willingness to rebuilt the canon - also makes itself known on 'Carol' and 'Rhoda' particularly. The former cuts a brittle concrète soundscape into what's ostensibly a relatively straightforward jam, advancing the Pere Ubu method in the process, and the latter begins to approach the thoughtful, now heavily trodden, soundscape that characterized 'Spiderland', with labyrinthine rhythms and whistling gusts of distorted guitar.
