“New Laws” - Don Caballero
Don Caballero is a math/post-rock band originally from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Despite numerous member changes over the years, Don Cab was active from 1991 to 2000 and took a hiatus until they regrouped in 2003. The band has garnered considerable acclaim over the years as their all-instrumental compositions reflect a grit complexity rivaled by few but their predecessors Slint. “New Laws” comes from their 1993 debut, Steve Albini-produced album For Respect.
“Nosferatu Man” - Slint
Slint was an alternative rock band from Louisville, Kentucky formed in 1986. In 1991 the group released the critically-acclaimed and highly-influential Spiderland, a record widely considered to have pioneered the post-rock genre. The album showcases an unprecedented ability to use dynamic alterations and odd meters to create musical mood shifts through tension and release. Slint broke up shortly after the album’s release and have since reunited only in 2005 and 2007 for limited live performances. “Nosferatu Man” is the second track off Spiderland.
