 Initially conceived as a recording project, the band at first avoided press or live performances, while attracting considerable underground attention with their early releases.
 Gradually evolving into a more polished band, Pavement recorded five full-length albums and nine EPs over the course of their decade-long career, though they disbanded with some acrimony in 1999 as the members moved on to other projects.

 It was composed of pre-Silver Jews, Yo La Tengo, and Pavement members David Berman, James McNew, Stephen Malkmus and Bob Nastanovich.
 UVA alumnus Gate Pratt was also a member of the band.
 The music of Ectoslavia used a great deal of noise and static underneath melodic pop-rock songs, not unlike early Pavement EPs like Perfect Sound Forever and Slay Tracks (1933–1969).
 The music of the group also used samples of known classical music, often directly over sheets of static or noise.
 Ectoslavia was referred to in the "Slow Century" DVD and also in the book "Perfect Sound Forever".
