Description
There's a difference between accessibility and focus, which indie band Pavement illustrate with their fourth (and probably most under-rated) 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.
