Stephen Malkmus considers a Pavement reunion to be “realistic.”
Fans of Pavement have slowly gotten used to the idea that the band may have turned their guitars in for good. As talented as they are, the group split in 1999 and didn’t reunite until 2009. This reunion was also short-lived and it has been 10 years now since we have heard from them.
Earlier this year, Stephen Malkmus told Kyle Meredith that he wasn’t “so keen” on the idea of a reunion any time soon.
“We put our heart into this record [new album with The Jicks, ‘Sparkle Hard’]. And I have some other tricks up my sleeve”, he explained. “Combine that with things like my wife’s career and family, I’m full time with my life, so I don’t know if I have time for a Pavement reunion.”
In a recent interview with the Rolling Stone, however, Malkmus revealed that he has had a change of heart. When asked about the reunion he responded with the rather promising: “You know, realistic. Anything’s possible.”
“If there’s interest, then that’s always a factor, he added. “If people are really psyched about it, I’d be psyched about it too. So we’ll see.”
Stephen Malkmus is on tour this fall.
