Slanted and Enchanted

Slanted and Enchanted is the debut studio album by American indie rock band Pavement, released in April 1992 on Matador Records. The album was distributed to critics as early as 1991, months before its official release; the original distribution did not feature the entire band as several members joined during its production. The recording sessions were split between South Makepeace Studios in Brooklyn, New York (recorded December 24, 1990) and Louder Than You Think Studios in Stockton, CA (recorded January 13–20, 1991). It was said that Gary Young's drumming was so shaky that Bob Nastanovich kept time for him, in addition to working as tour manager.. In 2003, the album was ranked number 134 on Rolling Stone magazine's list of the 500 greatest albums of all time.

A two-disc expanded version of the album, Slanted and Enchanted: Luxe & Reduxe, was released in 2002. Along with the original 14 tracks, it includes an additional ten tracks from recording sessions on disc one, and disc two consists of the four-track Watery, Domestic EP, seven other songs from recording sessions, and 13 live tracks (from a show at the Brixton Academy in London on December 14, 1992).

The album's name is taken from the title of a cartoon made by Silver Jews frontman David Berman. Artwork was created by appropriating that of an existing album, Ferrante & Teicher's Keyboard Kapers - itself a re-released form of Dynamic Twin Pianos "re-packaged to conform with the brilliant 'New Look' of the United Artists Records product".

As of 2007, the album has sold 150,000 copies.

Music videos were shot for the songs "Here" and "Perfume-V" but they were not in rotation on MTV and were later included on the Slow Century DVD.
