Pavement share new "Harness Your Hopes" video starring Yellowjackets' Sophie Thatcher

March 10, 2022

One of Pavement‘s most popular songs, at least on Spotify, is “Harness Your Hopes,” a b-side to Terror Twilight single “Spit on a Stranger,” that thanks to the service’s algorithm (and being a very catchy song) became the indie rock band’s most-streamed song. Along with the deluxe edition of Terror Twilight (preorder on vinyl), Matador Records is reissuing the Spit on the Stranger EP on vinyl on April 8 (preorder).

To go along with that, Pavement have released a video for “Harness Your Hopes” that was directed by Alex Ross Perry, who made the very intense 2018 film Her Smell and directed Soccer Mommy’s “yellow is the color of her eyes” video. It stars Yellowjackets‘ Sophie Thatcher as an obsessed Pavement fan who finds herself teleported into the band’s ’90s videos, including “Cut Your Hair,” “Stereo,” “Shady Lane,” and more. It’s very cleverly done. You can watch that below.

You can preorder the Spit on a Stranger EP and the Terror Twilight: Farewell Horizontal box set now.

Pavement will tour North America this fall, including four shows at Brooklyn’s Kings Theatre. All dates are listed below.
