After parting ways with their rambunctious older drummer Gary Young, slacker-gods Pavement followed a promising run of EP’s and a killer debut album (heavily indebted to English post-punk bands like The Fall and Swell Maps) with Crooked Rain, Crooked Rain - a wry sunstroken take on 70’s classic rock through the lens of the American independent underground. Featuring their biggest hits Cut Your Hair and Gold Soundz, Stephen Malkmus and his crew cemented themselves on this record as the zeitgeist-riding stars of the ironic indie age.
Crooked Rain, Crooked Rain is also #424 on the Greatest Albums of All Time list by Rolling Stone, which means Liam Withnail and Christopher Macarthur-Boyd have listened to it, and now they’re going to talk about it. Featuring digressions on Fopp, Purple Rain, Metallica, Modest Mouse, Smashing Pumpkins, Stone Temple Pilots, and the beef between Stormzy and Wiley from a few years ago. Featuring Secret Posho, Tattoo Woohoo/Tattoo Boohoo and YouTube Comment of the Week, this is Enjoy An Album. Enjoy!
