After Pavement dissolved in 2000, leadman Stephen Malkmus went on to record four solo records. Axe-slinger "Spiral Stairs" (aka Scott Kannberg) struck out on his own as well, helming Preston School of Industry. After a listen to their two albums (to date), All This Sounds Gas (2001), and Monsoon (2004), it's clear that Spiral and Co. didn't fall far from the tree before landing on the pavement.
The two eps this post concerns were released between PSOI's albums, featuring nine tracks of non-lp goodness between them. Enjoy. I have some more PSOI eps/singles if anyone is interested, as well as the live bonus CD that came with the European version of Monsoon. BTW, Edge City was released on Spiral's own in-house label, Grease Records, which is apparently now defunct.
