Stephen Malkmus

In April 2014, Stephen Malkmus and the Jicks graced the KEXP studio with an electric performance, just after the release of their album 'Wig Out at Jagbags,' which dropped in January of the same year. This album showcased Malkmus's knack for blending quirky lyrics with a laid-back sound, a hallmark of his work since his days with Pavement but with a fresh twist. Interestingly, 'Wig Out at Jagbags' sees him continuing to explore themes of nostalgia and self-reflection, all while maintaining that signature Malkmus charm. The KEXP performance featured tracks like 'Lariat' and 'Shibboleth,' offering fans a chance to experience his unique stage presence and improvisational flair live. This period marked a pivotal moment in Malkmus's career, establishing him not just as a former frontman, but as a vital and innovative solo artist.
