PAVEMENT - Crooked Rain, Crooked Rain LP ambient Liner notes by Paul Collins

Liner notes by Paul Collins

minimalist electronic score – which also includes Giuliano Sorgini’s haunting sound-effects from Jorge Grau’s The LIVING DEAD AT THE MANCHESTER MORGUE – along with some one-of-a-kind ’80s synth pop

PAVEMENT - Crooked Rain, Crooked Rain LP ambient Liner notes by Paul CollinsIncludes download code. The prototype of an indie slacker rock album. Their approach was slack, but the lyrics and melodies were clearly the product of lots of hard work. The result is an impressive, varied yet cohesive album featuring one gem of a song after another. These tracks are anthems, just not in the "stand with fist in air" vein.
