Unharness your hopes!<\/strong><\/p>\n

As you\u2019ll read in his excellent afterword to this new magazine<\/a>, Pavement\u2019s Bob Nastanovich has an extremely solid take on the fortunes of the band in which he has played percussion for the last 30 years.<\/p>\n

Things, he notes, have changed. Where once Pavement were part of a US guitar music underground \u2013 all 7\u201d singles in limited numbers, fanzine interviews, a shared headline with Polvo \u2013 that scene has changed. Whereas this music had the quality of a secret handshake, now Bob notes, it\u2019s become a family affair \u2013 as mums and dads have helped their now teenage children see the crooked Pavement light.<\/p>\n

Then of course, there\u2019s \u201cHarness Your Hopes\u201d. It\u2019s true, not all of us would pick it over \u201cMy First Mine\u201d in a battle of Pavement deep cuts, but this algorithmic quirk and its many TikTok transformations has also helped turned the band from a historic, 1000-pressing limited edition concern into thriving and much-expanded contemporary cultural phenomenon.<\/p>\n

Most recently that has manifested itself in the most Pavement reunion tour (leading merch item: \u201cDad hat\u201d, \u00a323 (sold out)), which began in 2022 and has a date next week at the Hipnosis festival in Mexico. \u00a0Featuring a full embrace of the band\u2019s catalogue, a date with Pavement might involve a full complement of complex and melancholic works or a jubilant and upbeat set of earworm guitar pop. You join us right now on the release of a new greatest hits album, and the soundtrack to a new kind of meta-documentary, Pavements<\/em>.<\/p>\n

In these pages also, you\u2019ll be able to experience all kinds of Pavement. There are in-depth reviews of every Pavement album, from the instantly charming and characterful debut Slanted And Enhanted<\/strong> to the wry complexity of their last, 1999\u2019s Terror Twilight<\/strong>. We cover every Stephen Malkmus jam and solo records by Spiral Stairs, Marble Valley and Gary Young. You\u2019ll also find thoughtful coverage on Pavement\u2019s fellow traveller and guidance counsellor David Berman. There are classic archive interviews from gigs, pubs, and bookmaking establishments.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s the glorious past. But what does all this activity mean for Pavement in the future? Speaking as he patrols round his home, seemingly on a post-tennis match buzz, Stephen Malkmus thinks it\u2019s a small concern in the cosmic scheme of things. A new album?<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat do you think?\u201d he asks, throwing the question back, in a manner which suggests he\u2019s genuinely curious to find out. It seems unlikely \u2013 but if Pavement have shown us anything lately, it\u2019s that nothing is beyond the bounds of possibility.<\/p>\n
