STEPHEN MALKMUS ANNOUNCES NEW ALBUM PRODUCED BY BECKTuesday, May 24, 2011 | POSTED BY: ELANA EHRENBERG
Last year, Stephen Malkmus, of Pavement, was reportedly working on a new album in the studio with fellow 90's indie legend Beck Hansen. Things got put on hold for awhile with the Pavement reunion tour, but now Malkmus is back with his band the Jicks and has announced that Matador will release his new LP Mirror Traffic, produced by Beck, on August 23rd. This will be the final Jicks album featuring Sleater-Kinney drummer Janet Weiss, who will be replaced during shows with Joggers drummer Jake Morris.
