Stephen J. Malkmus - Traditional Techniques LP

"Traditional Techniques", Malkmus’ third solo LP without the Jicks (or Pavement), is new phase folk music for new phase folks, with Malkmus as attuned as ever to the rhythms of the ever-evolving lingual slipstream. It’s packed with handmade arrangements, modern folklore, and 10 songs written and performed in his singular voice.

An adventurous new album in an instantly familiar mode, "Traditional Techniques" creates a serendipitous trilogy with the loose fuzz of the Jicks’ "Sparkle Hard" (2018) and the solo bedroom experiments of "Groove Denied" (2019).
