“Breadcrumb Trail” serves as the opener to Slint’s masterpiece of an album "Spiderland", and does well to set the tone of the album. The instruments and vocals follow their patented loud-soft dynamic, starting slow with very understated spoken word and guitar riff, and transitions abruptly into powerful and loud singing and instrumentation. Lyrically, the song is a straightforward love story of a boy meeting a fortune-teller at a carnival. The two ride a roller coaster during the climax of the song.
