Wowee Zowee - Sordid Sentinels
Matador
INDIE
PAVEMENT's 'Wowee Zowee- Sordid Sentinels Edition' is the super deluxe double CD version of the bands damn fine 1995 follow up to their pop masterpiece 'Crooked Rain Crooked Rain'.
Fresh off the success of 'Crooked Rain, Crooked Rain' with its charttopping MODERN ROCK hit "Cut Your Hair", the band went into the studio and came out with a deliberately chaotic and eclectic album that sounded nothing like its predecessor.
With influences from the GROUNDHOGS to the FROGS, CAPTAIN BEEFHEART to the more obscure mid-80s central California hardcore bands, Wowee Zowee confused the critics.
How fantastic, then, that it went on to scan 122000 copies and became many fans fave Pavement album. A return to their pre-Crooked Rain cacophony, the songs have a darkness that now seems appropriate, and with BRYCE GOGGIN at the mixing desk, the production was the band's most rocking to date.
Amazing features including: Embossed slipcase containing 2 CDs... 64-page perfect-bound book 50 tracks total... 18 released recording... The entire remastered original album... 6x never-released songs... outtakes or live 9 x non-album B-sides from the "Rattled By The Rush" single... The "Father To A Sister Of Thought" single, and the 'Pacific Trim' EP... 4 x period compilation tracks, from the 'Schoolhouse Rock! Rocks' tribute album... 'Homage' tribute to the DESCENDENTS, and soundtracks to 'I Shot Andy Warhol' and 'Kids In The Hall: Brain Candy' soundtracks x BBC Evening Session tracks... VPRO (Holland) Session tracks... 1 track from the 'Medusa Cyclone' split 7" alternate mix.
