80s post-rock outfit Slint have hinted that they’ll be reforming next year, following two reunion stints in 2005 and 2007.
The US outfit, who pioneered the post-rock and post-hardcore genres with their only two albums ‘Tweez’ and ‘Spiderland’, are likely to return to the public eye in 2013, more than 10 years after they originally split in 1990.
Speaking in an interview with AU Magazine, guitarist David Pajo revealed: “We still communicate regularly and we’ve got some surprises for next year that fans will be excited about. I know I am.”
Pajo went on to talk about the band’s cult following (and, in particular, the continued appreciation of their album ‘Spiderland’), saying: “To this day I am still stunned anyone has ever heard of Slint. It's taken me a long time to realise that [the album's iconic status] is deserved. I remember being unhappy with the result, overall. It wasn't perfect but I thought it was pretty good considering how small our budget was.
“It seemed to be an honest 'snapshot' of where we were at the time. That's not to say there weren't moments of pure magic in the studio.”
