A European tour is planned for February, but only a London show has been confirmed so far. Malkmus isn’t expected to perform any Pavement material on the tour.

According to his label, “Stephen Malkmus” was recorded in Portland, Ore., in the summer and fall of 2000. His band included drummer John Moen and bassist Joanna Bolme, both of whom he culled from the Portland scene.

The album’s first single, “Discretion Grove,” was released last week. The CD version of the single also features two non-album tracks.

Pavement--which was often the subject of break-up rumors--split following a 1999 tour in support of the album “Terror Twilight.” At the time, the band said it was taking a “much needed rest.” Matador Records’ new biography of Malkmus, however, says that the band broke up in 1999.

During its decade-long run, Pavement released five albums. Though they weren’t huge sellers, many of Pavement’s albums were among the most critically acclaimed releases of the '90s.
