I really liked Quint, Sally Young's later folky-proggy outfit. Their lp Time Wounds All Heels is pretty god though they may have been better live.

I had no idea they'd reformed until I saw this thread. Thought it would have come up somewhere else.

Great video Tim, thx

Makes me crazy and mad that i missed them though!

They were pretty great in Brighton, I will say.

I'd heard of Quint, but never made the connection. Might see if I can find some youtubes.

From show in Paris earlier in the month:

I used to have all of their records. I wish they were available on streaming - it kind of sucks that I can't put tracks of theirs in a mix.

Early stuff is here:

bought a copy of 'in gut's house' from a guy on discogs marketplace, he included a photocopy of a review penned by none other than mark s!

it me haha, hi donna

i'm back at griller today for obvious and sad reasons 😔

Safe Burning is such a strong start to an album. Just amazing sound, and Ut at their most accessible.

The best they ever sounded. They really went out at their peak.

I didn't think this when it came out -- it seemed a bit too clenched and I was secretly a little disappointed -- but I think that I do think this now.

"Went out" isn't right though, they still tour now and then!

the drummer makes a big difference to the feel of the music. not sure who he was, looks like he also played with the pastels at some point. saw them live a few times around this point. but that was as the usual three piece all swapping instruments between songs

Griller was the first one I bought and I was a little disappointed with it at first, probably because all I knew about them was they were a "no wave" band, and I expected them to sound like Teenage Jesus & The Jerks or something. I bought Early Live Life next which was a bit more like that. of course I grew to love Griller after I'd listened to it a few times

faintly wondering if "charlie dinsdale" (= the drummer on several tracks, tho not all) is maybe actually a pseudonym, for some arcane in-indie industry reason

if not, the pastels and ut is a p strong CV lol, he shd be inducted into RaRHoF

i mean he's just "charlie d" on the LP sleeve but discogs says it"s "charlie dinsdale"

fwiw it looks like the only Pastels release he was on was their collab with Jad Fair, which might make it more likely it's the same person
