Swedish KCRW Favorites Unite + Japanese Pop Icon releases 23rd solo album at 79

Indie rock hero Stephen Malkmus gained a cult following as the founding member of ’90’s favorite Pavement and continues to explore exciting new terrain on his 7th solo album. With his band The Jicks, he makes the kind of confident and quirky music that only someone with nothing left to prove can offer.
