Entering 2025, the US indie & lo-fi legends Pavement continue to wield enduring influence with releases like the documentary-drama hybrid film "PAVEMENTS" and the new best-of album "HECKLERS CHOICE". Now, the soundtrack to the biographical film "LOUDER THAN YOU THINK", about Gary Young, the band's original drummer, has arrived!
The standout track is undoubtedly "Please Be Happy (For Us)"?a song Gary hummed and improvised during filming, transformed into a full band sound by his bandmate and close friend Stephen Malkmus and Spiral Stairs!
Get ready to be swept away by this fiery collaboration after Gary's departure from the band?a perfect distillation of the Pavement sound, unchanged from their active days. You'll need a handkerchief! This soundtrack also includes rare Pavement live recordings and treasures crafted by Noah Georgeson and Edward W. Dahl. It's the perfect album to experience the essence of US indie!
