Slay Tracks (1933–1969)
''Slay Tracks (1933–1969)'' (also referred to as ''Slay Tracks'') is the debut extended play by the American indie rock band Pavement. Pavement, then consisting of founding members Stephen Malkmus (guitar, vocals) and Scott Kannberg (guitar), recorded ''Slay Tracks'' with producer and future member Gary Young (drums) during a four-hour session. The EP was released as a 7" vinyl record on the band's own record label Treble Kicker in 1989. The music in ''Slay Tracks'' is influenced by indie and punk rock bands, including Swell Maps and The Fall, and many of the lyrics are inspired by life in the band's hometown of Stockton, California.
Although only 1000 copies of ''Slay Tracks'' were pressed, the EP became an underground hit. It was met with generally positive reviews from critics, though most of its initial reviews were from independently produced zines. The songs on ''Slay Tracks'' would later appear on the 1993 compilation ''Westing (By Musket and Sextant)'', reaching a wider audience than the EP's limited initial release. The release of ''Slay Tracks'' was significant to Pavement's signing to Drag City, and later to Matador Records.
==Background and recording==
Pavement was formed in 1989 in Stockton, California, by Stephen Malkmus and Scott Kannberg. Malkmus and Kannberg had previously performed together in the band Bag O' Bones.〔Jovanovic (2004). p. 41〕 Pavement had its start playing at open mike nights at clubs and bars.〔 The songs the band played during this time were mostly covers, although they also performed many original songs that would later be released on ''Slay Tracks''.〔 Malkmus recalls, "It was pretty reasonable to be able to make a single for $1,000, so we decided to go for it. We didn't have any real plans because we weren't a real band."〔Jovanovic (2004). p. 61〕 Two local studios existed in Stockton, the cheaper and less professionally minded of which was Gary Young's Louder Than You Think Studio.〔 The band decided to record at Young's studio due to their admiration of other local punk bands who had recorded there, including The Young Pioneers and The Authorities.〔Jovanovic (2004). p. 63〕 Kannberg reportedly borrowed $800 from his father to record ''Slay Tracks''.〔"(Preston School of Industry Biography )". Matador Records, August 28, 2001. Retrieved on December 17, 2007.〕
''Slay Tracks'' was recorded during a four-hour session on January 17, 1989, at Young's studio. Kannberg, describing the studio and the recording process, said, "You go into his house and it's stuff everywhere, old dogs lying around, big pot plants everywhere, and Gary tells us that he got all his equipment by selling pot! It was us going in and pretty much just laying down the songs with a glide guitar and a detuned guitar through a bass amp and then we'd play drums over the top."〔 Young, though bewildered by the band's sound, contributed by playing drums. He recalled, "(and Kannberg ) come in and they play this weird guitar noise and it just sounds like noise, with no background. My drums were in there so I said, 'Should I drum?' and they said 'Okay.'"〔Jovanovic (2004). p. 66〕 Kannberg said, "We did it really fast. We probably spent one day tracking and one day mixing it."〔 The title of the EP had been decided prior to its recording, and the pseudonyms S.M. and Spiral Stairs were used to credit Malkmus and Kannberg respectively.〔
