PAVEMENT perform ‘Harness Your Hopes’ live on The Late Show

Last night, Pavement made their debut on The Late Show With Stephen Colbert to perform ‘Harness Your Hopes,’ the group’s b-side-cum-streaming-smash, now officially certified as an RIAA gold record. Watch the clip below.

PRAISE FOR ‘PAVEMENTS’

 “Brilliantly done…delightfully destabilizing”. – The New York Times

“Dazzling…An artificial artifact that nonetheless proves more authentic” – The New Yorker

“Perfectly cracked…exactly the type of WTF rock doc the band deserves” – Rolling Stone

Director Alex Ross Perry’s film PAVEMENTS is currently screening in select theaters – with more to come – and has been met with confusion, confoundment, and ultimately high praise from critics, including features and reviews in the New York Times, New Yorker, and Los Angeles Times.

On May 30th, Matador will release the PAVEMENTS soundtrack album digitally with a physical edition to follow at a later date. Compiled by PAVEMENTS producer/editor Robert Greene and Pavement, the soundtrack ropes together disparate elements of the film – dialogue snippets, scenes from the fake Oscar-bait biopic Range Life, and cast recordings from the Slanted! Enchanted! jukebox musical as well as live and rehearsal tapes from the band’s 2021 reunion tour. The soundtrack features the original Pavement lineup as well as Rebecca Cole on keyboards and backing vocals on the live recordings from the 2020s.

Pavement are Mark Ibold, Scott “Spiral Stairs” Kannberg, Stephen Malkmus, Bob Nastanovich and Steve West. Among the most beloved acts to come out of the American underground in the 1990’s, the band released five era-defining albums – Slanted And Enchanted (1992), Crooked Rain, Crooked Rain (1994), Wowee Zowee (1995), Brighten The Corners (1997) and Terror Twilight (1999) – before disbanding in 1999. Pavement’s 2022 reunion saw them headline Primavera Sound and perform sold-out multi-night runs in Los Angeles, New York, and London.
