Perfect Sound Forever is the third EP by American indie rock band Pavement, released on April 15, 1991 through Drag City. It was released as a 10" on Chicago's Drag City recording label. Its songs were later made available on the Drag City compilation Westing (by Musket & Sextant).
Background and recording
[edit | edit source]The EP was recorded over the course of two days at Louder Than You Think Studios in Stockton, California, and was self-produced by Pavement's own Gary Young.
The EP's name came from a line in Sony's 1982 advertising campaign for the first compact discs, which assured potential buyers of the ultimate in both fidelity and longevity.
Style
[edit | edit source]Village Voice writer Michaelangelo Matos noted Perfect Sound Forever and the band's 1990 EP, Demolition Plot J-7, as "epochal to ... sloppy early-'90s undergrads."[6]
