Cover: Pet Ghost Project do Pavement
I wonder just how many posts in a row can have at least some tenuous Pavement connection on here.
Today we have a cover of Box Elder from Pet Ghost Project. I have to admit to not being familiar with with Pet Ghost Project, which is apparently just one man by the name of Justin Stivers. Which is pretty remarkable given the kind of full band sound that he manages to evoke with this cover. Box Elder is one of my favourite Pavement songs, ticking all of the boxes of what made the band great. It takes a hell of a lot to come up with something even half as good as the original, but Stivers manages to make it his own.
For those keeping up with the Pavement reunion scores at home, it’s now confirmed that there will “definitely will be” UK gigs in the “summer time”.
