Slanted and Enchanted is the debut studio album by American indie rock band Pavement, released in April 1992 on Matador Records. The album was distributed to critics as early as 1991, months before its official release; the original distribution did not feature the entire band as several members joined during its production. The recording sessions were split between South Makepeace Studios in Brooklyn, New York, (recorded 24 December 1990) and Louder Than You Think Studios in Stockton, CA (recorded 13–20 January 1991).

It reached number 72 in the UK Albums Chart. In 2003, the album was ranked n
