Louder Than You Think - A Lo-Fi History of Gary Young and Pavement -

[Machine Translation] The US indie and lo-fi legend Pavement is still going strong, with the release of the documentary and drama film "Pavements" and the new best-of album "HECKLERS CHOICE" in the year 2025. The soundtrack of "LOUDER THAN YOU THINK", a biographical film about Gary Young, the band's first drummer, has arrived! The main feature is "Please Be Happy (For Us)," a song Gary improvised during the filming of the movie, which was transformed into the band's sound by Stephen Malkmus and Spiral Stairs, two of the band's key members and allies. Get your handkerchiefs ready, because this is the best sound of Pavement, a hot collaboration after leaving the band, and a condensed version of the Pavement sound that is not different from the band's active period. This soundtrack also includes rare live recordings of the Pavement, as well as treasured songs by Noah Georgeson and Edward W. Dahl, making this the perfect disc to experience the essence of US indie music! Imported Japanese edition with obi and commentary. Commentary: Takaaki Matsuzaka a.k.a. The King of Snacking.
