Pavement - Speak, See, Remember (Terror Twilight)
Pavement’s swan song, Terror Twilight, reveals a muscular, mature band strutting a decade of indie cool without batting an eyelash. Speak, See, Remember is a Jekyll and Hyde romp. The first section is a jazzy number, pushed along by Mark Ibold’s walking upright bass and rippling guitar textures.
The second section of Speak, See, Remember explodes with full electric destruction. A landslide of sound is unleashed as Stephen Malkmus (of The Silver Jews and The Jicks) offers a searing critique of capitalism run-amok.
Buy now!
Develop the coast and raise the sight lines
The ocean’s moving out
And someday
Develop the coast and sell the air
You know if we could we’d sell the air
Stand back!
Expansion is what we do the best
I don’t see the grass and the fields
I see an epicenter with agendas
And you’re aware they must be next
I hope you’re aware they must be next
The tempo ratchets up, distortion kicks in. Classic rock riffs. Pavement takes the song to 11 with surgical precision, a triumphant refutation to anyone who’s ever accused them of being sloppy.
Sounds like the love child of: The Clash and The Replacements
