"Silence Kid" is a Stephen Malkmus song, words and music, from Crooked Rain, Crooked Rain, the second Pavement album, which Matador released on February 14, 1994, with Bryce Goggin mixing. It belongs to the record where the band climbed out of the lo-fi murk of their debut, Slanted and Enchanted, toward a cleaner, more open rock sound, and where Steve West took over the drum stool from original drummer Gary Young.
Critics heard that album threading West Coast folk-rock and psychedelic haze from the '60s and '70s through the band's old noise, and it was the one that gave them a modest hit in "Cut Your Hair".
