Pavement - "Texas Never Whispers"

Pavement - "Texas Never Whispers": "From Watery, Domestic, one of the entries in my series of 'perfect EPs.' This whole EP swims in a sea of fuzzily melodic melancholy that hasn't aged in all these years. This is what happens when Pavement put aside their class clown roles, took the playfulness out of their tunes and just delivered four breathtaking tracks. Also of note - this song was later sampled (!) by Placebo (!!) for their similarly great track Slave To The Wage."
