We'll Take the Rain -- Crooked Rain that is

While many Pavement purist favor Slanted & Enchanted, we think Crooked Rain, Crooked Rain is the defining Pavement album. In fact, this was the defining album for all indie music in the 1990s.

Crooked Rain, Crooked Rain offers a musical bounty of songs that really don't sound like anybody else...perhaps there is a glimmer of early REM in their work. Perhaps, but it was pure Pavement. Angular guitar riffs combined with Stephen Malkmus' word-play lyrics the band was quickly dubbed a favorite by graduate students.

Here's a key track called Gold Soundz. "So drunk in the August sun..." aah that line brings us back the halcyon days of 1994. Enjoy.
