The band Pavement performs at the 2010 Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival on April 18, 2010, in Indio, California.

Thirty years ago this week, Pavement released its debut album, “Slanted and Enchanted.” Seven years after that, the band dropped its fifth and final LP, “Terror Twilight.”

The two records bookended one of the greatest and most influential catalogs of the 1990s: a densely packed stretch of witty, tuneful, sarcastic, sentimental indie rock that produced a real-deal alternative radio hit in 1994’s “Cut Your Hair” and a comically passive-aggressive performance at the first Coachella festival in ‘99 before the group broke up barely a decade after it started.

Now Pavement — singer-guitarist Stephen Malkmus, guitarist Scott Kannberg, bassist Mark Ibold, drummer Steve West and percussionist Bob Nastanovich — is looking back: This month it reissued “Terror Twilight,” for which the band hired producer Nigel Godrich, then hot from his work with Radiohead and Beck, in a deluxe package featuring dozens of outtakes and rarities.

In August the band will rerelease “Slanted and Enchanted” on limited edition vinyl and cassette. And in June the band will hit the road for its second reunion tour following a celebrated comeback run in 2010.
