Description
Wowee Zowee, originally released by Matador in April 1995 on the eve of Pavements infamous mud-bespattered mainstage appearance at Lollapalooza, began life as a controversial release. Fresh off the success of Crooked Rain, Crooked Rain with its chart-topping Modern Rock hit Cut Your Hair, the band went into the studio and came out with a deliberately chaotic and eclectic album that sounded nothing like its predecessor. With influences from the Groundhogs to the Frogs, Captain Beefheart to the more obscure mid-80s central California hardcore bands featured on Maximum RocknRoll comp Not So Quiet On The Western Front, Wowee Zowee confused critics and alienated fans.
A masterpiece Rolling Stone
This album and this band is monument to camaraderie, absurdity, and the beauty of creation for creations sake Stereogum
