Pavement to release first new song in over two decades for documentary, Pavements
The forthcoming film Pavements, which has been directed by Alex Ross Perry, recently premiered as part of the Venice Film Festival.
"Pavements, a prismatic, narrative, scripted, documentary, musical, metatextual hybrid, is an examination of the iconic 90s indie band Pavement," reads a statement on the film. "The film intimately shows the band preparing for their sold-out 2022 reunion tour while simultaneously tracking the preparations for a musical based on their songs, a museum devoted to their history and a big-budget Hollywood biopic inspired by their saga as the most important band of a generation"
Pavements movie soundtrack will include a new Pavement song!

In an interview with the Kreative Kontrol podcast, Pavement’s Scott ‘Spiral Stairs’ Kannberg revealed that a new song will be featured in the documentary film. “There will be a new Pavement song on the soundtrack, that’s all I’m going to give you,” he explained. “I just heard a mix of it today, and it’s pretty good. It’s not a big deal, it’s just cool because it’s something different and it’s a song that we all kind of loved playing.”
Pavements is yet to be given a wide release date.
