About Pavement

Pavement's 1992 debut LP Slanted and Enchanted was an instant sensation, helping to establish Lo-Fi as one of the preeminent subgenres of Indie Rock. Their unique, raggedly endearing sound -- shambling vocals attached to both pop hooks and discordant, repetitive rhythms colored by low fidelity production and bursts of noisy guitar -- has elevated them to deity status in the Indie community. They've done much to promote the Lo-Fi sound in the meantime, gaining an increasingly widespread cult following while occasionally breaking into the alternative mainstream. Bebop Digital
