We have a new album from Pavement as one of the ‘longshots’ of our Anticipated Releases 2022 feature, but second to getting all new material a batch of 28 previously unreleased tracks will do nicely!
That’s what they’ll be gifting us on April 8 when Terror Twilight: Farewell Horizontal is released. The final of their five albums, and the last to get its long-awaited reissue, the new Terror Twilight‘s 4xLP and 2xCD editions will include a book with never-before-seen photos and commentary/context from band members Mark Ibold, Stephen Malkmus, Bob Nastanovich, Spiral Stairs, and Steve West as well as producer Nigel Godrich.
The vinyl version will put the songs in Godrich’s preferred sequence, while the CD maintains the sequence released in 1999.
Today they’ve shared one of those previously unheard tracks, “Be The Hook”, an off-the-wall jam that could have easily slotted into the original album. Then again, we wouldn’t be getting it as a delightful surprise today if it had.
Check out “Be The Hook” with its animated video below, or find it on streaming platforms.
