Pavement's Terror Twilight is finally being reissued
After a 13-year wait, Terror Twilight: Farewell Horizontal gives the expanded-and-remastered treatment to the group's final album on April 8

Last year, Pavement announced their first tour since reuniting in 2010, which kicks off at Primavera Sound in June 2022. And it turns out it’s not the only thing Pavement has in store for fans this year. After 13 years of waiting for the final installment in a catalog-spanning reissue series that began way back in 2002, Matador Records has announced that Terror Twilight: Farewell Horizontal arrives on April 8.
The 45-track set contains a remastered version of Pavement’s 1999 swan song, along with “B-sides, home demos, rehearsal tapes, era-appropriate live recordings, and even the rough tracks from Pavement’s scrapped session at Sonic Youth’s Echo Canyon studio,” per the press release.
The reissue will be released on both CD and vinyl, but while the CD version keeps the original sequencing, the four-LP vinyl set will “restore producer Nigel Godrich’s suggested sequence—which foregrounds the album’s headiest songs.”
Fans can finally hear 28 unreleased tracks in the reissue, too. To celebrate the news, you can hear one of those previously-unreleased tracks today: “Be The Hook.”
And in case you’re wondering why it took so long for Matador to finally release the reissue after fans badgered the label to do so for over a decade (and after the label had reissued every other studio album by Pavement on an every-other-year basis), there’s a good explanation for it mentioned in the press release: “The truth is that we were just holding out for them to play some shows again.” Lucky for us, Pavement finally decided to tour this year, so let’s not think about what would’ve happened if they had decided to not play again.
