Novena's New Music Friday Must Hear's & Coachella Must See's
KCRW’s signature music program — defying format since 1977.

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.
