Pacific Trim is the fifth EP released by American indie rock band Pavement on January 23, 1996.[5][6] It was recorded on short notice to coincide with the band's Australian tour.
Background
The recording features only Stephen Malkmus, Bob Nastanovich and Steve West — the session had actually been booked for a Silver Jews recording, but David Berman became unavailable at the last minute and the group couldn't afford to waste the studio time. The CD release contained three tracks with a fourth song, "I Love Perth", included only on the vinyl edition, which references the city of Perth in Western Australia. Allmusic concludes that the EP "isn't much more than a throwaway, but it is an extremely enjoyable one".
Although the EP is out of print, all four songs are available on the two-CD set Wowee Zowee: Sordid Sentinels Edition.
Track listing
- "Give It a Day" – 2:37
- "Gangsters and Pranksters" – 1:29
- "Saganaw" – 3:31
- "I Love Perth" – 1:08 (vinyl version only)
