Our Take

Ah, Pavement, the indie rock darlings who captured the hearts of slackers everywhere in the '90s. With their unique blend of lo-fi sound and cryptic lyrics, they were a breath of fresh air in a sea of grunge bands.

"Quarantine The Past: The Best Of Pavement" is a delightful romp through the band's discography, serving up all the hits and hidden gems that made them legends in the underground music scene. From the infectious hooks of "Cut Your Hair" to the sprawling guitar solos of "Stereo", this compilation is a treasure trove of indie gold.

Frontman Stephen Malkmus's distinctive vocals weave in and out of the band's signature jangly guitars and off-kilter rhythms with ease, creating a sound that is both chaotic and oddly soothing. Tracks like "Gold Soundz" and "Range Life" showcase the band's knack for catchy melodies and poetic lyrics that leave you scratching your head in the best way possible.

With Pavement, you never quite know what you're going to get, and that's part of the appeal. "Quarantine The Past" is a testament to the band's enduring influence and unapologetically quirky charm. So grab a coffee, put on your flannel shirt, and let Pavement whisk you away to a world where the music is strange, the lyrics are cryptic, and the laughs are plentiful. Cheers to Pavement, the kings of indie rock absurdity.

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.
