Album Notes:

Westing (By Musket and Sextant) is a compilation of the early EPs and singles by the band Pavement. It features all the tracks from their first three EPs, Slay Tracks (1933-1969), Demolition Plot J-7, and Perfect Sound Forever, as well as the single mix of “Summer Babe”, its B-sides, and two compilation tracks.

Pavement is an American alternative rock band that formed in Stockton, California in 1989. In their career, they achieved a significant cult following, and they were called the best band of the 1990s by prominent music critics Robert Christgau and Stephen Thomas Erlewine. Though only briefly brushing the mainstream with the single “Cut Your Hair” in 1994, Pavement was a successful indie rock band. Rather than signing with a major label as many of their 1980s forebears had done, they remained signed to independent labels throughout their career.

Initially conceived as a recording project, the band at first avoided press or live performances, while attracting considerable underground attention with their early releases. Gradually evolving into a more polished band, they recorded five full length albums and nine EPs over the course of their decade-long career. Though the group disbanded with some acrimony in 1999 as the members moved on to other projects, after a decade-long hiatus, a reunion was announced in late 2009. In 2010, they undertook a well-received reunion tour.
