''Brighten the Corners'' is the fourth studio album by American indie rock band Pavement, released on February 11, 1997 by Matador Records. The album received very positive reviews from critics. Background and recording ''Brighten the Corners'' was recorded at Mitch Easter's Drive-In Studio in Winston-Salem, North Carolina.

Wowee Zowee
