Slint, and in particular tracks from their 1991 opus, Spiderland, were treated with a reverence at The Old Market that saw anyone making a noise – even while the amps hummed between songs - swiftly hushed quiet.

Save for a brief comment on the quality of the sea air, the band remained silent too, adding to the air of solemnity created by their delicately picked then thunderously hammered dynamics.

The sound throughout was pitch perfect but disappointingly low volume.

This was a band that needed its listeners pummelled by the more abrasive elements of tracks such as the closer, Good Morning Captain – but instead the noise was only slightly loud, building occasionally, with the group’s numerous skeletal passages left lacking.

Any sense that the crowd were at the sold-out show simply to be seen soon disappeared though, as the love in the room for both the band and Spiderland itself quickly became apparent.

This was a gig for the hardcore. Slint are not a band for the non-committal fan to check in on, rather those that cherish every chime, plectrum scrape and snare brush.

Despite the sonic stifling, there were plenty of people at the Old Market eager to do just that.
