Pavement "Slanted & Enchanted" (30th Anniversary)
FORMAT | LP
"Perhaps because one half of Pavement lives in New York City and the other in a sleepy, rural, central California town called Stockton, the spirit of the band's music is split right down the middle. Simultaneously sophisticated and unpretentious, heartfelt and totally goofy - but always entirely sincere - Pavement exhibits it's genius casually. The group's first full-length album, Slanted and Enchanted, is brimming with beautiful pop songs, soured a bit by the rhythmic clamor of harder guitar rock. You can hear Pavement's effortless charm in the evocative lyrics... and, ultimately, in the sheer, clangy joyfulness of the band's playing." Entertainment Weekly "Pavement makes things happen where nothing happened before" Spin Magazine 'Spin's Top 5 albums of the 1990s ' #3 on Pitchfork's Best Albums of the 1990s
