With their fractured songs, unexpected blasts of feedback, laconic vocals, cryptic literate lyrics, and defiant low-fidelity, Pavement were one of the most influential and distinctive bands to emerge from the American underground in the '90s. Pavement, along with Sebadoh, were the leaders of the lo-fi movement that dominated U.S. indie rock in the early '90s. Initially conceived as a studio project between guitarists/vocalists Stephen Malkmusand Scott Kannberg in the '80s, Pavement gradually became a band during the early '90s. Along the way, their initial EPs and debut album, 1992's Slanted & Enchanted, earned a devoted following of musicians, indie fans, and critics.

Heaven is a truck
It got stuck
On the breeze
Asked the driver nicely,
I need a lift?
I need release.
The sand in the boats,
On the rose-covered floats
She is the queen of a canceled pasadena thrill
(california)
I know arks cant fly
I know the sharks, they dont have wings
But lady you need some cold advice
About a few things
Loosen my dress
Tie me up just like all the rest
She is the queen of a canceled pasadena, thrill
(california)
