SILT

Icelandic three-piece noise-pop/indie band. Released the EP 'In Line' (reviewed on DeBaser, 2002); singer/guitarist Heidar is noted for playing a Fender Stratocaster. Known from a DeBaser review that praises their minimalist, analog sound and live presence.

Review on DeBaser (published 2002-06-05 by 'uffa') states: the EP 'In Line' was produced in the UK and contains 3 tracks from their latest album (then available only in Iceland) plus 2 live recordings; the band supported Sparta live; comparisons in the review include Pavement, Afghan Whigs, Shellac, and Girls Against Boys.

An enthusiastic DeBaser appraisal of Icelandic three-piece Silt and their 2002 EP In Line. The sole review praises the band's minimalist, analog noise-pop, Heidar's Fender Stratocaster work, and strong live presence. Reviewer 'uffa' gives a 5/5 and calls them a 'Geheimtip'.

For:Fans of indie/noise-pop, listeners who like minimalist and analog-sounding bands (Pavement, Afghan Whigs fans), collectors of Icelandic indie.
