Earlier this year, Alex Perry Ross released his very strange and good meta-documentary called Pavements about the titular '90s rock group. Today, we finally get to enjoy the film's original soundtrack, which includes 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 recordings from the group’s 2021 reunion tour.
You can also hear a never-before-released cover of Jim Pepper’s song “Witchitai-To (LA Rehearsal Session)” and Snail Mail's cover of "Shoot The Singer." Pavement has performed “Witchitai-To" live on tour, but this rehearsal session marks the group's first new recording in 26 years. Snail performed their version of "Shoot The Singer" at a museum pop-up that took place in NYC when Pavement had their four-night run at Kings Theatre in 2022. Pavements is currently in select theaters, but will open nation-wide on June 6. It will also be available on MUBI soon.
