Stephen Malkmus & the Jicks drop new song

Stephen Malkmus & the Jicks, listen to the track "Middle America"
Stephen Malkmus & the Jicks

Stephen Malkmus & the Jicks haas dropped the new single “Middle America”, it’s the first new music from the band, in quite a while, sometime in 2014. On “Middle America,” “Malkmus’s wry wordplay and sunny twang create an ode to underdogs everywhere, with bittersweet words of encouragement for the ramshackle character on their receiving end. Only SM & the Jicks can craft this kind of brightly low-key anthem, a perfect three-minute- thirty- second country-speckled track about life’s questions big (the inevitable passage of time; aging) and small (getting shitfaced; blushing the color of Robitussin)”. Stephen Malkmus & the Jicks will tour North America in July, including stops in Montreal, Brooklyn, and Chicago.
