Stream Pavement’s The Secret History Vol. 1

On Aug. 11, Matador Records will release Pavement’s The Secret History Vol. 1, which chronicles all the non-album tracks recorded during the band’s Slanted and Enchanted era. It’s a hodgepodge of b-sides, outtakes, alternate mixes, Peel Sessions and other oddities. Before it’s released (on a Tuesday, no less!) you can stream the new compilation via NPR First Listen.

Check out the album here.
