Stephen Malkmus is releasing his “folkie” and “stoner feel” new album Traditional Techniques, on March 6 via Matador. He made the record with his old pal/former Matador labelmate Matt Sweeney (of Chavez, Zwan, etc) and The Decemberists’ Chris Funk, and he’s just shared a song from it, “Xian Man.” Listen to that below.

Stephen, Chris and Matt will be on tour this spring beginning March 31 in Minneapolis and wrapping up April 19 in Detroit. The NYC show happens April 13 at Webster Hall and tickets for that show go on BrooklynVegan presale today at noon. Use password TRADITIONAL.

If you miss out on the presale, tickets for Webster Hall go on sale to the general public on Friday, January 24 at 10 AM. All dates are listed below.
