About

Brighten the Corners is the fourth studio album by Pavement, released on February 11, 1997 by Matador Record. The album was recorded at a studio in Mitch Easter's house in North Carolina. According to singer and guitarist Stephen Malkmu, it was either Matador Records or Mary Timony from Helium who suggested that the band should record the album there. Although Brighten the Corners was mostly produced by Pavement and Bryce Goggin, Easter worked with the band for roughly a week when Goggin left the studio. The recording sessions involved a lot of editing, and the band would often record several versions of the same song before deciding on a final take. The vocals were then recorded in New York separately. .
