Our Take

Ah, Wowee Zowee by Pavement, a sonic rollercoaster of fuzz, charm, and pure indie goodness. With this album, the band continues to defy musical expectations and deliver a cacophony of melodies that will have you both scratching your head and tapping your feet.

From the opening track "We Dance" to the closing notes of "Fight This Generation," Pavement takes you on a wild ride through lo-fi landscapes and cryptic lyrics. Frontman Stephen Malkmus' deadpan vocals are a perfect match for the band's off-kilter sound, creating a surreal listening experience that is both jarring and strangely addictive.

Tracks like "Rattled by the Rush" and "Grounded" showcase Pavement at their best, with catchy hooks and infectious riffs that will have you hitting repeat over and over again. The band's knack for blending noise and melody is on full display here, creating a sound that is uniquely their own.

But don't let the chaos fool you, beneath the layers of distortion and dissonance lies a sense of purpose and direction that is impossible to ignore. Pavement may be known for their idiosyncratic sound, but Wowee Zowee proves that there is method to their madness.

So, whether you're a longtime fan or a newcomer to the world of indie rock, Pavement's Wowee Zowee is an album that demands your attention. Strap in, because this is one musical journey you won't soon forget.

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.
