The Pavements film has paved the way for fresh Pavement music.
In an interview with the podcast Kreative Kontrol, guitarist Scott Kannberg shares that the accompanying Pavements soundtrack will include a new song.
“It’s not a big deal,” Kannberg says of the track. “It’s just cool because it’s something different and it’s a song that we all kind of really love playing.”
Of course, fans would likely argue with that first point and contend that a new Pavement song is indeed a big deal, especially since the band hasn’t had one of those in 25 years. Since then, they’ve broken up, reunited and gone on hiatus multiple times. They also scored a surprise TikTok hit in the 1999 song “Harness Your Hopes.”
Pavements is described as part-documentary, part-musical and part-fictional biopic. It made its North American debut at the 2024 New York Film Festival and will screen in theaters in the spring.
