Spiral Stairs was always secondary to Stephen Malkmus, the chief songwriter and public face, but as the 1990s wore on Kannberg became increasingly marginalized as Pavement became more and more an expression of Malkmus’ personal vision.

Spiral Stairs, by contrast, released...
...Dependence,” the band’s third album, comes after a five-year gap in their discography. That long wait makes its blandness all the more underwhelming.

But only in the past few years has Disney mastered how to hang on to them, to keep them from getting away...
