Stephen Malkmus & The Jicks

Stephen Malkmus & The Jicks are back: their new album Sparkle Hard was released last May. The 51-year old slacker and indie legend may just have made his most accessible post Pavement album to date. Sparkle Hard sparkles pretty damn hard with timeless class and lowkey anthems. Eleven sunny California songs with hints of americana, classic indie, a touch of Wilco, a country duet with Kim Gordon (yes, you actually read that right), autone (yes that too), lyrics that will make you chuckle, and the Malkmus tongue-in-cheek which made you love Pavement so much.

Rolling Stone: “At this point in his nearly 30-year career, the former Pavement leader has given us hundreds of perfect Cali-gold guitar hooks.  But the tender beauty of his latest with the Jicks is rare even by his high standard.

For fans of: Stephen Malkmus and everything he does.
