Recorded at Jackpot, Portland, Oregon, Supernatural, Future Rhythm Studios, San Jose, California between May and August 2000. Pavement split at the end of the '90s, having pioneered the lo-fi approach and saved indie-rock from eating itself. Rising from the rubble, the band's singer/songwriter emerges with a solo debut that (surprise) bears a strong resemblance to none other than his erstwhile ensemble. Pavement had been getting progressively more sophisticated right up until its breakup, so this album finds Malkmus negotiating from a position of musical strength. All the elements that fans found attractive in his former band are here; quirky, mega-ironic lyrics that reference everything from Sarasota to Yul Brynner, eccentric, spastic rhythms, and perfect little guitar hooks. On the lovely, affecting "Church on White," Malkmus momentarily drops the post-modernism, reaching for an earnest melodicism that is one of the album's major coups. But if you're hoping for a departure from the indie king's Pavement past, you'll find yourself in the strange position of being disappointed by a batch of infectious, well-written songs played with enthusiasm and skill. Editorial Reviews ...Another bunch of great numbers that wouldn't have seemed out of place on TERROR TWILIGHT or BRIGHTEN THE CORNERS... CMJ (02/12/2001) 8 out of 10 - ...His brightest, funniest, quite possibly best set of songs since 1994's outstanding CROOKED RAIN... NME (02/10/2001) ...The best songs have that rare power which picks up and carries along the happy Walkman listener, legs dangling...gravity-defying...above the ground... Mojo (03/01/2001) 4 out of 5 - ...Malkmus sounds like he's having more fun than he has in years....everything here is so enjoyable... Alternative Press (03/01/2001) ...Full of humor and energy....it's a welcome return to the giddy wit that had dimmed as Pavement tried to contort itself into a conventional rock band... - Rating: A- Entertainment Weekly (02/23/2001) 3 stars out of 5 - ...Strangely engaging....as queer and entertaining as anything by his old band... Q (03/01/2001) 3.5 stars out of 5 - ...His most playful, lighthearted tunes since WOWEE ZOWEE....mapping out his adult style of indie slop with casual grace... Rolling Stone (03/01/2001) Ranked #21 in NME's 50 Albums Of the Year 2001. NME (12/29/2001) 4 stars out of 5 - ...There's a fiendish brain at play throughout this captivating opus....Call it American psycho-beauty: a feast of Stephen... Uncut (02/01/2001)
