Spiderland is the second and last album by the rock band Slint, released on March 27, 1991, on Touch & Go Records. Shortly after its release, the band broke up.
It is now widely recognized as one of the most influential alternative rock albums of the decade, proving a key influence on numerous post-rock and math rock bands: critic Dean Carlson writes that the album "remains one of the most essential and chilling releases in the mumbling post-rock arena. Even casual listeners will be able to witness an experimental power-base that the American underground has come to treasure."[1]
The cover photograph was taken by Will Oldham.
Some versions of the CD release include the following legend on its back cover: "This recording is meant to be listened to on vinyl."
