It’s not every day we get to announce new music from indie rock godheads Pavement. But, as the band is gearing up to release a deluxe version of their fifth album, Terror Twilight, new music has arrived.
Released in 1999, Terror Twilight remains Pavement’s most recent album, but the Californian band has a heckload of material in the vault. The new single, titled ‘Be the Hook’, is one of 28 previously unreleased recordings that’ll feature on the upcoming multi-disc Terror Twilight: Farewell Horizontal reissue, due out Friday, 8th April via Matador Records.
Pavement – ‘Be the Hook’
It’ll be available in 4xLP and 2xCD editions. The former not only includes 28 previously unreleased tracks – spanning B-sides, home demos, rehearsal tapes, era-appropriate live recordings, and rough tracks from Pavement’s scrapped session at Sonic Youth’s Echo Canyon studio – but also a rejigged track sequence, heeding the suggestion of the album’s producer, Nigel Godrich.
Take a look at the 45-song track listing below, and pre-order or pre-save a copy here.
