About: Wowee Zowee

An Entity of Type: album, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

Wowee Zowee is the third studio album by American indie rock band Pavement, released on April 11, 1995, by Matador Records. Most of it was recorded at Easley Recording in Memphis, Tennessee, where some members of the band had previously worked on Silver Jews' 1994 album Starlite Walker. The album showcases a more experimental side of the band, marking a return to the clatter and unpredictability of their early recordings after the more accessible sound of their 1994 studio album Crooked Rain, Crooked Rain. Its eclectic nature ranges from mellow yet distorted melodies to noise and punk rock, while the lyrics generally explore humorous and cryptic themes. At nearly one hour long, Wowee Zowee is Pavement's longest studio album, filling three sides of a vinyl record. Side four was left blank.

La revista Rolling Stone especuló que el éxito relativo de su anterior disco (169.000 copias vendidas en aquel momento) fue la razón para crear su naturaleza ecléctica; la crítica de la revista afirmaba que Pavement le tenía miedo al éxito. Más tarde Stephen Malkmus negó esto, atribuyendo el cambio de estilo a un consumo excesivo de marihuana. El disco se grabó en en Memphis, Tennessee, excepto algunos temas que se grabaron en , Nueva York. El título del disco es un homenaje a , quien solía gritar "¡Wowee zowee!" cuando se emocionaba.

At nearly one hour long, Wowee Zowee is Pavement's longest studio album, filling three sides of a vinyl record. Side four was left blank. Upon release, Wowee Zowee received mixed reviews from critics, being generally deemed as a sloppy effort in comparison to its acclaimed predecessor. However, some reviewers highlighted its adventurous style and Stephen Malkmus' lyricism. Two songs from the album, "Rattled by the Rush" and "Father to a Sister of Thought", were released as singles in 1995, but neither were successful. Despite being notable for ruining any opportunity Pavement had to capitalize on the success of Crooked Rain, Crooked Rain, Wowee Zowee has retrospectively been reappraised in highly positive terms, with Rolling Stone including it in the magazine's 2020 edition of The 500 Greatest Albums of All Time. A compilation containing the album in its entirety as well as B-sides and other rarities, titled Wowee Zowee: Sordid Sentinels Edition, was released in 2006. (en)
