Stephen Malkmus

Stephen Malkmus and the Jicks will release Mirror Traffic on August 23 via Matador (US)/Domino (UK). Like Thurston Moore, Malkmus has chosen Beck to produce the album. Mirror Traffic will be the last album to feature Janet Weiss as a member of the Jicks, who is leaving to focus on Wild Flag full time. Check out the track “Senator” above, and the tracklist and artwork below.

Stephen Malkmus and the Jicks will head out on a month-long tour in September with Jake Morris of The Joggers replacing Janet on drums. The tour hits NYC on September 26 at Terminal 5. Tickets go on sale Friday (6/17) at noon.

Janet’s band Wild Flag plays a show with Thurston’s band Sonic Youth at Williamsburg Waterfront on August 12th. Stephen’s band Pavement played the same venue last year.
