About this Artist

Editorial Reviews

Pavement's Slanted and Enchanted is the Murmur of the '90s, a record whose clamorous guitars and hum-along hooks can provide the perfect fodder for late-night dorm-room conversations and suicide term-paper missions. Sure, the Stockton, California, quintet looked like refugees from the college soccer team, with their preppy clothes and clean cuts. But their 1992 full-length debut is the height of indie-rock -- that "underground" genre typified by its low recording costs, immediately catchy melodies, and postgrad poetry. Pavement effortlessly took the tastiest ingredients of every great guitar band to come before them (Sonic Youth, R.E.M., Dinosaur Jr., the Fall) to make music that could be blisteringly intense and sweetly gorgeous, often at the same time. Consider "Trigger Cut." When singer-guitarist Stephen Malkmus nonchalantly dropped weird, dark lyrics like "lies and betrayal/fruit covered nails/electricity and lust," he tagged them to a tune so catchy the final product melted in your ears like a Valentine's Day confection would in your mouth. On songs like "In a Mouth a Desert," "Zurich Is Stained," and the instant classic "Summer Babe," Pavement's pop was as elegant as it was abrasive -- and, unlike many of their slacker peers, passionate too. A classic. Revamped and remastered in 2002 for its 10th birthday, the double-disc Slanted and Enchanted now includes 13 additional tracks, two 1992 Peel Sessions, an oft-bootlegged live concert from 1992, and a 58-page booklet featuring lots of photos and essays from Malkmus and Scott Kannberg, Matador chiefs Gerard Cosloy and Chris Lombardi, and more.

November 06, 2002: when this album first came out it was brilliant then, now with all the new unreleased sessions packed into 2 cds, this record is even more amazing. Compared with records of it's day slanted and enchanted was a great cd, compared with the music we are being beaten over the head with it is a breath of fresh air, it is so nice and happy and angry and every possible word you could think to describe it. Buy this cd, cause you know you don't have it and you know you are gonna love it!
