Various Artists - Slaying Since 1996 / Various

This celebratory double CD marks Suicide Squeeze's 10 year anniversary and spotlights songs from nearly every band the label has worked with, including Elliott Smith, Pedro the Lion, the Unicorns, Goon Moon, of Montreal, Earlimart, Hella, and many more. Accompanying those gems are several songs from records now out of print (Constantine's, the Black Heart Heart Procession) remixes and demos from some current roster favorites (The Aislers Set, Minus the Bear), and some classic combinations of great talents (Iron & Wine with Six Parts Seven, Modest Mouse with 764-Hero). SLAYING exemplifies the steadfast diversity that helped Suicide Squeeze rise above the typical genres that plagues much of the industry.
