Pavement are celebrating the 30th anniversary of their debut album Slanted & Enchanted with a new reissue. It’s set to come out on August 12 via Matador and will include a replica of the original demo cassette the band used to share the record’s material with prospective record labels, titled Courting Shutdown Offers.
