"Father to a Sister of Thought" came off Wowee Zowee, Pavement's third album, and on June 27, 1995 Matador sent it out as the record's second single, following "Rattled by the Rush", on seven-inch vinyl and CD with the same tracks on both. Stephen Malkmus wrote it, and it finds the band's slack genius wandering out toward alternative country, a lazy, sun-bleached drift that sounds like it has all afternoon.
The video leans into the frontier look: the band plays in front of western props painted by Steve Keene, the same pieces they were hauling around on tour at the time. Both B-sides later resurfaced among the bonus tracks on the 2006 Sordid Sentinels Edition of Wowee Zowee.
