also lol reading through this bands wiki and it seems like The Fall comparisons have been around for a long time. Mark E Smith even called them a The Fall rip off apparently. that seems a bit harsh tho.



its really only Two States that screams The Fall to me

"its really only Two States that screams The Fall to me"

Conduit tho! i think those comparisons exist for good reason, but malkmus ultimately opened this sound up in ways that MES' idiosyncrasies never had the scope for

'wasn’t Slanted and Enchanted’s Our Singer just an exact rewrite of the Fall’s Hip Priest?'



“Yeah it was,” Stephen Malkmus, Pavement’s wiry, bookish singer and guitarist admits, “but there were other songs too. Conduit for Sale was New Face in Hell. Jackals, False Grails; The Lonesome Era was The Classical. It didn’t worry me at the time. I don’t know what I was thinking,” he muses idly, as if he’d never considered the subject before. “We don’t sound like them any more.”



he admits it so fair enough tbh

"Here" is so moody and emotional, and yet I still don't know what he's talking about. haha



The guitar is just beautiful. Malkmus is a great pop songwriter. So many catchy hooks.
