From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Ectoslavia was an American indie rock band formed at the University of Virginia during the mid-1980s. It was composed of pre-Silver Jews, Yo La Tengo, and Pavement members David Berman, James McNew, Stephen Malkmus and Bob Nastanovich.[1] UVA alumnus Gate Pratt was also a member of the band. The music of Ectoslavia used a great deal of noise and static underneath melodic pop-rock songs, not unlike early Pavement EPs like Perfect Sound Forever and Slay Tracks (1933–1969). Their songs also contained samples of classical music, often directly over sheets of static or noise. In 2015, Nastanovich described Ectoslavia as "unlistenable and, with offensive lyrical passages...it’s discardable."[2]
