Life and career

1986–1987: Slint

In 1986, Buckler formed Slint with David Pajo and former Squirrel Bait members Brian McMahan and Britt Walford. He performed on Slint's 1987 debut album Tweez , which was produced by Steve Albini. [1] Buckler was severely disappointed by Albini's production style, saying "he would produce bands to sound raw and abrasive; I wanted Slint to sound warm and delicate." Frustrated with the end product and at odds with the direction the band was heading, Buckler departed soon after recording had wrapped. [2] Tweez would go unreleased until 1989, by that time Buckler had formed his own musical project called King Kong, which was more influenced by psychedelic rock and blues rock.[ citation needed ]
