June of 44 Four Great Points

So you've heard 'Spiderland' and you're wondering to yourself, were there any other bands capable of striking that potent balance of post-rock and hardcore, of beauty and pain? My friends, it is my pleasure to say that yes, there were. June of 44 for example, whose third album is as much a masterpiece as anything Slint managed. Don't believe me? Give the opener on 'Four Great Points' a whirl. Whew.
