Stephen Malkmus & The Jicks - Mirror Traffic
Music Release
Simon Winkler
The inimitable Stephen Malkmus, a cult-figure of the 90s independent guitar-based music scene, returns here for his fifth solo album following the dissolution of Pavement. Mirror Traffic is produced by the equally inimitable Beck, and the album overall is a charming encapsulation of Malkmus' strengths as a singer and songwriter, featuring plenty of angular off-beat pop and sharp but langorously delivered lyrics.
