Album reviews

Terror Twilight (Recommended)
Matador (1999)
With lo-fi deader than dead, what's an indie rock band to do? Why, turn to Radiohead's producer, of course.

Brighten The Corners
Matador (1997)
Pavement is a band of impressionists.

Wowee Zowee
Matador (1995)
Depending on who you talk to, Wowee Zowee is either one of Pavement's greatest masterstrokes, or a bastard child they sent down the river to their unsuspecting fans.

Crooked Rain Crooked Rain (Recommended)
Matador (1994)
Dropping false jackals like bombs to destroy the term "sophomore slump".

Slanted And Enchanted (Recommended)
Matador (1992)
Slanted And Enchanted is the homely sister to Nevermind's prom queen -- maybe not as popular with the boys, but smarter and a little less shallow -- and every bit as important.

Irving Plaza, New York
The men of Pavement, like Sonic Youth before them, have musically outgrown most their earlier work.
