About albumruns

albumruns is a community project pairing music and running: each event soundtracks the run with a single full album, played start to finish as participants move through the route. Crooked Rain, Crooked Rain, Pavement's second studio album released in 1994, includes tracks like "Cut Your Hair" and "Range Life" and remains one of the defining indie rock records of the 1990s.
