All songs were written by lead singer Stephen Malkmus, apart from Scott Kannberg's Date with Ikea and Passat Dream. After their last release, Wowee Zowee, Pavements drummer, Bob Nastanovich, said of this album, We were going to go into peoples rooms and brighten their corners with music. All tracks are written by Stephen Malkmus, except where noted. Stephen Malkmus vocals, guitar. Brighten the Corners is the fourth studio album released by Pavement. There's a difference between accessibility and focus, which Pavement illustrate with their fourth album, Brighten the Corners. Arriving on the heels of the glorious mess of Wowee Zowee, the cohesive sound and laid-back sarcasm of Brighten the Corners can give the record the illusion of being accessible, or at the very least a retreat toward the songcraft of Crooked Rain, Crooked Rain. And the record is calm, with none of the full-out blasts of noise that marked all of their previous releases. Album 1997 12 Songs. Brighten the Corners. Alternative 1997. Brighten The Corners 1997.

It's definitely the most accessible Pavement album, possibly second to Terror Twilight, but if you're interested in them either album is a great place to start. But is it good Yes The riffs are catchy, the guys are adding new sounds to their style, and you just have a good time hearing the songs. Malkmus continues to belt out absurdist lyrics in his quirky yet alluring voice, and the rest of the band backs him with equally quirky charm
