Pavement have announced another reissue, with their debut album Slanted & Enchanted set for a new 30th anniversary edition. The new release is out August 12 via Matador and includes a cassette titled Courting Shutdown Offers. The tape is a replica of what the band first used to share proto–Slanted & Enchanted material with labels. See the tracklist for that below.

The band most recently augmented its final album with Terror Twilight: Farewell Horizontal, which arrived alongside an update of the 1999 Spit on a Stranger EP earlier this month. Pavement are embarking on a set of long-awaited reunion tour dates across North America and Europe, beginning with a stop at Primavera Sound in early June.
