Slint Socks
Description: Some records feel less like music and more like places you shouldn't have discovered. Inspired by the unsettling stillness of Slint's Spiderland era, The Water Remembers captures the quiet tension of early '90s American underground rock. A deserted quarry, disappearing concrete steps, and a solitary figure emerge through damaged film grain and worn photocopy textures. An eerie visual homage to Louisville's experimental music underground.
Description: Black Country New Road is one of the most interesting new rock bands from the UK. Along with Black Midi, Squid, Shame, Idles or Girl Band, Black Country is one of the most interesting rising hype bands that mixes rock, punk, post-hardcore and jazz with influences of Scott Walker, Slint, Arcade Fire, Neutral Milk Hotel or Godspeed You Black Emperor among many others. Their second album, Ants from Up there marked a departure from the obscure noise-rock and post-punk of their debut towards a more folksy and beautiful post-rock with spaces for a lot of silences and slow building climaxes.
