Pavement

Add Date: January 27

Artist: Pavement

Album: Brighten the Corners: Nicene Creedence Edition

Label: Matador

Genre: Rock

Comments: It’s Pavement. Honestly, is a review even necessary?! BTC—substantial, seminal, sublime, a phenomenal and classic album—is reissued in a double-disc edition, featuring b-sides, bonus tracks, compilation tracks, etc. You can’t particularly go wrong with any of the BTC tracks (or the additional 8 tracks on the first disc), and out of all the extra goodies on the second disc, I’m partial to the sessions songs like “Harness your Hopes”, from a BBC Evening Session in ’97. Start with anything (seriously).
