Engine Kid

I heard about this band through reading the liner notes to Silkworm's "Even a blind chicken...". My interest was further peaked when I learned that Greg Anderson (Sunn O))), Southern Lord Records, etc.) was the lead dude, I'm not terribly familiar with Sunn O))), what I have heard of theirs I like quite a lot. But I figured any contemporary of skwm is worth checking out so I searched for some engine kid stuff.

I found this site http://lamestainnorthwest.blogspot.com/2008/06/engine-kid.html, it has a bunch of Engine Kid songs for download. As that blog mentions, they do sound an awful lot like Slint; perhaps too much like Slint. So although I'm enjoying these songs, I haven't totally decided how good this stuff actually is... either way, I think it's interesting to listen to. That 1/4 mile thunder song is pretty neat.

Here's a video of Greg on skwm, sweet beard:

God dammit I hope the silkworm documentary is finished soon.
