Pavement – Hecklers Choice: Big Gums And Heavy Lifters (LP Vinyl)
Product Details
Slanted and Enchanted arrived in 1992 and rewired what indie rock could sound like, all wobbly guitars and Malkmus's oblique wit, and the records that followed built one of the most genuinely idiosyncratic catalogs of the decade. For the uninitiated, this is the entry point; for the converted, it's a reminder of how songs like "Cut Your Hair" and "Gold Soundz" somehow kept getting better with age.
Hard to believe we made it, but here we are. A sold-out reunion. Gold records. A critically-lauded feature film. Stockton, CA's finest are once again seated atop the throne and Pavement is the biggest band in the world...? North America...? The coastal United States. And yet, we get the sense there's still a lot of people who don't know who the hell they are. Thus, Matador Records will release 'Hecklers Choice: Big Gums and Heavy Lifters - A Pavement Collection,' Pavement's second-ever "best of" compilation. Look, it's been more than a decade. Back when 'Quarantine the Past' came out in 2010, TikTok wasn't a thing. This newly re-vamped track-list accounts for any/all viral sensations that have emerged hence ("Harness Your Hopes") while continuing to rep the timeworn tunes that have remained playlist and mixtape staples for in-the-know-types across generations.
