Biography[]
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 informed by psychedelic rock and blues rock.[citation needed]
