"Hopeful melancholy" is how David Pajo describes Slint's music, one of many insights captured on this amazing episode

Another delightful podcast! I assume there was some hands-on editing here; you get to relish Hitchcock's intricate imagination & wonderful vocabulary, but tied to a relatively straight & informative narrative. Hope he knows how much some of us absolutely treasure this record!
For the 45th anniversary of The Soft Boys’ UNDERWATER MOONLIGHT, we spoke to @RobynHitchcock about how it was made. Becoming a songwriter, a young band at its peak, 60s retro in the time of punk, and an album chock full of power pop gems.
