Pavement released a new video for their 1999 B-side, and the improbable 2022 viral TikTok hit, “Harness Your Hopes.”

The Alex Ross Perry-directed video stars Sophie Thatcher. Perry takes Pavement fans through a mini-history of the band on film, placing Thatcher in some of Pavement’s classic music videos.

The track was initially released on the CD version of Spit on a Stranger EP back in 1999, which was also the year they disbanded. A reissue of the EP will release as a 12″ on April 8, the same day as the band’s massive Terror Twilight: Farewell Horizontal 45-track exclusive box set.

Pavement is finally hitting the road this fall throughout Europe and North America. Tickets are available on the band’s website.
