Stephen Malkmus returned to The Jicks to record their new record Mirror Traffic. After spending last year playing Pavement reunion shows, Malkmus has now focused his attention back on The Jicks project and Mirror Traffic is due for release August 22 through Domino. Beck produced the album and you can download the first single Senator at Domino Records now.
Malkmus told NME: This record is relatively approachable. Beck and I were both burned out on the heavy rocking style, and playing to the strengths of a melody seemed like a way to go.

Senator
Brain Gallop
