Slint was an American rock band from Louisville, Kentucky, formed in 1986 after the dissolution of two local bands, Squirrel Bait and Maurice.^[8] It initially consisted of Brian McMahan (guitar, vocals), David Pajo (guitar), Britt Walford (drums, vocals) and Ethan Buckler. Though little known during their original run, they gained a cult following and acclaim as one of the pioneers of post-rock and math rock.

Slint's debut album, Tweez, was recorded by Steve Albini and released in 1989 on their record label, Jennifer Hartman Records and Tapes.^[9] Buckler left out of dissatisfaction with Tweez, and was replaced by Todd Brashear.^[10] In 1991, Slint released their second album, Spiderland, on the independent label Touch and Go Records. They broke up prior to its release. Spiderland eventually became one of the most acclaimed albums of the 1990s.

After [[Slint broke up, Touch and Go records released an untitled EP recorded before their debut. After sporadic reunions, Slint disbanded again in 2014.
