The long lost soul of Pavement is alive and well. More specifically, early Pavement tempo with the vocal playfulness of “Wowee Zowee.” “Light Up Gold” is the name of their first proper LP that is one of favorite rock releases of the year that never tires and consistently knows when to let up in all the right places. The Texas kids visited with World Cafe (listen to their full session here) and don’t miss them on tour.
