Pavement: Pavements (2LP/original motion picture soundtrack) LP

This November, Matador Records capitalizes on the sweeping success of box office smash Pavements with the physical release of the iconic meta-documentary’s original soundtrack. Compiled by Pavements producer/editor Robert Greene and the band, the soundtrack ropes together disparate elements of the film – dialogue snippets, scenes from the fake Oscar-bait biopic Range Life, and cast recordings from the Slanted! Enchanted! jukebox musical as well as live and rehearsal recordings from the group’s 2021 reunion tour and the never-before-released cover of Jim Pepper’s song “Witchitai-To.” The full-band performances were mixed by Bryce Goggin, who worked on Pavement classics Crooked Rain, Crooked Rain, Wowee Zowee and Brighten the Corners.
