Our Take

Ah, Pavement - the pioneers of lo-fi indie rock have graced us with their sophomore album "Crooked Rain, Crooked Rain" and boy, oh boy, is it a rollercoaster of musical delight.

From the whimsical guitars on "Cut Your Hair" to the melancholic vibes on "Gold Soundz", this album takes you on a journey through the world of 90s alternative rock. Frontman Stephen Malkmus' nonchalant vocals ooze with infectious charm, making you want to sing along even if you have no idea what he's actually saying.

The band's knack for blending catchy hooks with off-kilter lyrics is on full display here, making each song feel like a mini adventure of its own. Whether you're bopping your head to the funky beats of "Silence Kid" or getting lost in the dreamy haze of "Range Life", there's something for everyone on this record.

So, grab your flannel shirt, pour yourself a cup of coffee, and dive into the world of Pavement. "Crooked Rain, Crooked Rain" is a classic that deserves a spot in every indie rock lover's collection. Trust us, you won't be able to resist hitting replay on this one.

About the artist

Pavement

Ah, Pavement. The band that effortlessly straddles the line between indie rock royalty and lovable underdogs. Formed in Stockton, California in 1989, this motley crew of misfits was destined for greatness, even if they didn't quite realise it themselves. Led by the enigmatic Stephen Malkmus, Pavement quickly gained a reputation for their unconventional song structures, cryptic lyrics, and scrappy DIY ethos. Their debut album, "Slanted and Enchanted", released in 1992, catapulted them into the indie spotlight with its infectious hooks and off-kilter charm. But it was their sophomore effort, "Crooked Rain, Crooked Rain", that solidified Pavement's status as indie darlings. Tracks like "Cut Your Hair" and "Gold Soundz" became instant classics, showcasing the band's uncanny ability to blend melody with dissonance in a way that only they could. Despite their critical acclaim and loyal fanbase, Pavement never quite broke through to the mainstream. And you know what? That's exactly why we love them. They're the ultimate outsider band, the underdogs who never quite fit in but always managed to steal the show. Now, with a reunion tour on the horizon, Pavement's legacy continues to grow. Their influence can be heard in countless indie bands today, proving that sometimes the greatest artists are the ones who never quite get the recognition they deserve. So here's to Pavement, the lovably quirky band that captured our hearts and never let go. Long live indie rock's unsung heroes.
