Today, we celebrate 30 years of Pavement’s debut full-length, Slanted & Enchanted, which was first released on this day in 1992 via Matador Records. It remains a truly monumental album – one that defined/ruined a generation and a genre, depending on who you ask.

This isn’t our first pass at the ‘Slanted and Enchanted’-anniversary-game and we’ve put decades of hard-earned know-how into making this one pop.

To start: On August 12, Pavement will release a limited-edition run of the Slanted & Enchanted on red/white/black splatter vinyl for the album's 30th anniversary.

We’ve also pressed up a lovingly detailed replica of the cassette Pavement used to shop ‘Slanted and Enchanted’ to prospective record labels, titled ‘Courting Shutdown Offers.’ This is an early version of the finished album with a different running order and a handful of alternate track titles.

This has become one of the most important albums of my life. It’s essence is indescribable. Every sound from the start of the record through the end is placed delicately and with care. The album cover is by Julie Mehretu. It’s absolutely an incredible release for which I shall be eternally grateful. Aniket
