"Here" is a Stephen Malkmus song from Slanted and Enchanted, the debut album Pavement released on Matador on April 20, 1992, with the recording credited to C.Y. Jameson. It belongs to a record that stands apart in their catalog as the only Pavement album with Gary Young on drums, one whose title came from a cartoon by the band's friend David Berman and whose cover was lifted from another LP entirely, Ferrante & Teicher's Keyboard Kapers.
Critics adored the album, and it is now regarded as an indie-rock landmark: Rolling Stone ranked it 199th on its 2020 list of the 500 greatest albums, and in 2022 Alex Ross Perry turned it into a rock opera, Slanted! Enchanted!
