Brighten the Corners (1997) | Shady Lane EP/Single (1997) | Terror Twilight (1999) | |
"Shady Lane" is a song by American indie rock band Pavement that appears on the album Brighten the Corners. It was also released as a two-part single and as an EP, which collects the B-sides from both the British singles. The single was accompanied by a video directed by Spike Jonze.[4] "Shady Lane" would become a top 40 hit in the UK for the band.
Background
The EP was released June 10, 1997, on Matador Records. It collects all the B-sides from the two "Shady Lane" UK singles. "Shady Lane (krossfader)" is a very similar version to the one on the album Brighten the Corners; the gap between the first chorus and second verse is shortened and the extended instrumental part towards the end (identified on the album as J vs. S) is omitted. The song "Slowly Typed" can also be found on Brighten the Corners, where it is named "Type Slowly". The version here is quite different, faster and more lo-fi with a country touch.
