Album Focus: Stephen Malkmus & The Jicks – 'Real Emotional Trash'
Encoded | 07 March 2008
For this week's Album Focus show, we've hand-picked Stephen Malkmus' new release, Real Emotional Trash, which is his fourth solo album since leaving Pavement, and came out on Domino Records last week. Like his previous band's releases, no two Malkmus albums are the same, and where on his last solo outing he delivered a collection of short, sweet, catchy pop songs à la Pavement's Wowee Zowee, Real Emotional Trash sees him return to the stoner retrospection of Crooked Rain, Crooked Rain.
