Release Info:  Slanted and Enchanted is the debut album by American indie rock band Pavement. The album was distributed to critics as early as 1991 before its official release; the original distribution did not feature the entire band as several members joined during its production. It was said that Gary Young's drumming was so shaky that Bob Nastanovich kept time for him, in addition to working as tour manager. In 2003, the album was ranked number 134 on Rolling Stone magazine's list of the 500 greatest albums of all time.

The album's name is taken from the title of a cartoon made by Silver Jews frontman David Berman. It is also an allusion to a line from Samuel Taylor Coleridge's famous poem Kubla Khan.

As of 2007, the album has sold 150,000 copies.

Music videos were shot for the songs "Here" and "Perfume-V" but they were not in rotation on MTV and were later included on the Slow Century DVD.
