Slint was a band that broke new ground. Their album Spriderland leaked its way across the Pacific Ocean to us in the early 90s. We were blown away. Spiderland created a sonic landscape. It bent time, added a surreal fragmented narrative, more chanted and spoken than sung, and lulled us into relaxed by uneasy states before building into sublime peaks of intense sound that seemed to go deep into a dreamlike collective memory.
Breadcrumb Trail focusus on Slint's seminal album, Spiderland, and the Louisville music scene from which the band originated. Appearances are made by former members of Slint, their friends and family, Steve Albini, Brian Paulson, and other musicians. The film includes songs, demos, and live performances from Slint and other bands; most of these bands had contained one or more members from Slint's lineup.
