Description
LABEL: Matador
RELEASE DATE: 11/14/2025
VARIANT: Black Vinyl LP
Hard to believe we made it, but here we are. A sold-out reunion. Gold records. A critically-lauded feature film. Stockton, CA’s finest are once again seated atop the throne and Pavement is the biggest band in the world...? North America...? The coastal United States.
And yet, we get the sense there’s still a lot of people who don’t know who the hell they are. Thus, Matador Records will release 'Hecklers Choice: Big Gums and Heavy Lifters - A Pavement Collection,' Pavement’s second-ever “best of” compilation. Look, it’s been more than a decade. Back when 'Quarantine the Past' came out in 2010, TikTok wasn’t a thing.
This newly re-vamped track-list accounts for any/all viral sensations that have emerged hence (“Harness Your Hopes”) while continuing to rep the timeworn tunes that have remained playlist and mixtape staples for in-the-know-types across generations.
