Is there a more quintessentially ‘90s band than Pavement? The lo-fi legends practically invented the sound of slacker indie rock, blending sharp wit with just the right amount of musical chaos. On this Rewind episode of Kyle Meredith with..., frontman Stephen Malkmus and guitarist Scott Kannberg/Spiral Stairs reflect on the band's legacy and ultimate reunion.

From Slanted and Enchanted to Wowee Zowee, Pavement became indie darlings and reluctant icons of a generation that pretended not to care. But with their recent reunion, they’ve proven that apathy can age like a well-loved cassette. Malkmus and Kannberg dig into the brilliance of Pavement, exploring how and why their work has remained a staple of influence in the indie landscape.
