About

This compilation collects the early singles and EPs that laid the cracked foundation upon which Pavement built a ‘90s indie-rock institution. Noise-encrusted lo-fi shocks like “Forklift” and “Baptiss Blacktick” capture the band in that embryonic state where they were still very much in thrall to the collapsible post-punk of The Fall and Swell Maps. But with the gentle jangle of “Box Elder” and the ba-ba-ba-da-ba hooks of “Debris Slide,” they burrowed a path toward their own singular style of slanted enchantment.
