 ████            'The Tired Sounds of Stars of the Lid' or the             ████
 ████            modish neoclassical motifs of its critically              ████
 ████            revered follow-up 'And Their Refinement of the            ████
 ████            Decline'. But the band had been operating for             ████
 ████            years prior to this; Wiltzie and McBride had              ████
 ████            met in Austin while they were both studying at            ████
 ████            the University of Texas, and Wiltzie had been a           ████
 ████            fan of McBride's experimental student radio               ████
 ████            show. They officially assembled in 1992 and               ████
 ████            started sketching ideas using a four-track                ████
 ████            recorder, a Casio SK-5 sampler and a few                  ████
 ████            guitars, countering Austin's tired rock                   ████
 ████            fixations with doggedly unpopular music                   ████
 ████            inspired by David Lynch's heaving 'Eraserhead'            ████
 ████            soundscapes and Gavin Bryars' eerie 'The                  ████
 ████            Sinking of the Titanic'.                                  ████

 ████            Listening to this early, noisy material now,              ████
 ████            it's easier to understand why McBride and                 ████
 ████            Wiltzie were lumped together with post-rock               ████
 ████            bands like Tortoise, Godspeed You! Black                  ████
 ████            Emperor and Mogwai. Recorded without access to            ████
 ████            proper studio equipment, there's a punk                   ████
 ████            aesthetic iat the core of 'Music for Nitrous              ████
 ████            Oxide' that had all but disappeared by the time           ████
 ████            they reached 1997's beloved 'The Ballasted                ████
 ████            Orchestra'. Tune into '(Live) Lid', a basement            ████
 ████            jam recorded straight to DAT, and you can hear            ████
 ████            how SoTL connects the dots between proto-post             ████
 ████            rock acts like Sonic Youth and Swans, and the             ████
 ████            duo's contemporaries like Windy & Carl,                   ████
 ████            Labradford and Low. Piercing feedback and                 ████
 ████            extended bowed guitar tones are beefed up with            ████
 ████            MBV-like layers of distortion, and drums (yep,            ████
 ████            really) just rattle away off camera, seemingly            ████
 ████            catching a sub-50bpm slowcore groove - it's               ████
 ████            definitely not ambient in the Eno sense, and if           ████
 ████            it's rock it's been opiated until there's                 ████
 ████            little left.                                              ████

 ████            Truthfully, Wiltzie and McBride were early                ████
 ████            adopters, following a genre-agnostic trajectory           ████
 ████            that was so prophetic that they'd have a global           ████
 ████            legion of followers within a few years. In the            ████
 ████            past, when artists so often followed scenes               ████
 ████            that critics saw it as their duty to delineate,           ████
 ████            it was hard to peer outside those boundaries -            ████
 ████            even The Dead C's 'Harsh '70s Reality',                   ████
 ████            released just three years before 'Music for               ████
 ████            Nitrous Oxide', was a fractalisation on various           ████
 ████            rawk shards: psych, punk, blues and prog. SoTL            ████
 ████            on the other hand felt almost anti-rock, as if            ████
 ████            they were using the cheap, democratized methods           ████
 ████            provided to them by rock's popularity to reach            ████
 ████            for loftier ends. Sampling 'Star Trek: The Next           ████
 ████            Generation' on 'Down', they weren't a million             ████
 ████            miles away from Orbital thematically, but took            ████
 ████            an American approach to the bleary-headed                 ████
