Pavement are the ultimate rock Rorschach test. To one set of observers, they are demigods of the 90s American underground; the most durable, impactful and casually brilliant act to rise from a generation that wasn’t exactly short on bands who married guitar scree to honeyed melody. To another, they’re a speck.

In a 2008 interview with Rolling Stone, Neil Young spoke about an album called Toast that he had recorded seven years earlier with longtime band Crazy Horse. “It’s a mind blowing record, and I don’t think it’s a commercial record, but it’s great rock and roll, very moody, kind of jazzy,” Young said. “It was recorded in the same place where Coltrane was recorded, so there’s a lot of heavy stuff in there.”
