Pavement – Perfect Sound Forever

With Perfect Sound Forever from 1991, a genuine rarity returns to record shops. As a standalone EP, these seven tracks – recorded by original drummer Gary Young – are in fact being reissued for the very first time. Still a trio at that point, Pavement combine West Coast hardcore, lo-fi and DIY here, while songs such as »Debris Slide« already reveal the singular Pavement pop appeal that Malkmus, Kannberg and Young would fully articulate a short time later on their debut Slanted and Enchanted.
