Pavement Releases First New Song in 25 Years

Pavement has announced their first new song in 25 years will be featured on the soundtrack of the upcoming documentary film 'Pavements,' directed by Alex Ross Perry. The track was recorded during rehearsal sessions for their recent reunion shows and will accompany the film, which is set for theatrical release in spring 2025 after successful screenings at various festivals. Band member Scott Kannberg, also known as Spiral Stairs, described the song as 'not a big deal' but expressed excitement about it being something different that the band enjoyed playing.

The film is described as a hybrid of documentary and biopic, showcasing the band's legacy and creative journey.
