Pavement: Terror Twilight 12"

Pavement: Terror Twilight 12"

Terror TwilightĀ is Pavement's fifth proper studio album and perhaps their most confident effort to date. Opening with the surprisingly subdued leadoff single, the sinewy-sweetĀ Spit on a StrangerĀ (which sounds like the Velvet Underground after a couple of cartwheels), it's clear that Pavement is in no hurry to recreateĀ Slanted and Enchanted'sĀ fractured and raw indie-pop. Instead of short bursts of jive poetry and razor guitars, the band opts for slightly longer songs with more subdued sonic explorations. Still,Ā Terror TwilightĀ never quite veers off into predictable directions; the boys' talent continues to confound expectations. Unforeseenly unironic heartstrings seem to be the thing these days for Pavement. This album boasts their finest ballads to date -Ā Major LeaguesĀ andĀ StrangerĀ - but the days of fiery songs likeĀ No Life for GingerĀ may be over. Malkmus and crew seem to be heading in the same avant-pop direction as built to spill. But while Pavement may be more laid-back, they're still standing firm.Ā Terror TwilightĀ could be the bedrock upon which they build the rest of their career.
