Stephen Malkmus - Traditional Techniques (March 6, 2020)

gotta make myself a note to get to this today cause he's been on a major hot streak since sparkle hard imo

 

yep this continues that hot streak, psych folk is a very good look on him. here are a couple of cool write ups brooklyn vegan did where he discusses some records that he looked towards in making this and also a more general interview that contextualizes it against the rest of his music

Stephen Malkmus discusses the folk influences on his new LP 'Traditional Techniques'

Stephen Malkmus talks 'Traditional Techniques,' Pavement reunion & more in BrooklynVegan interview

the 12 string tuned to open B gives every song a really distinctive, fuller sound that i like a lot, i can't wait to spend more time w this
