Our Take

Stephen Malkmus & The Jicks' latest album, "Real Emotional Trash," is a whimsical romp through the mind of the indie rock icon. Malkmus, known for his wry lyrics and off-kilter guitar riffs, delivers once again with a collection of songs that are both playful and profound.

From the opening track, "Dragonfly Pie," Malkmus weaves a tale of love and loss with his trademark wit and charm. The music is a mix of psychedelic rock and lo-fi indie, creating a sound that is both nostalgic and new.

Tracks like "Hopscotch Willie" and "Cold Son" showcase Malkmus' ability to craft catchy melodies that stick in your head for days. The band's tight musicianship is on full display, with intricate guitar solos and inventive drum patterns throughout.

At times, the album veers into experimental territory, with songs like "Out of Reaches" and "Elmo Delmo" pushing the boundaries of what indie rock can be. Malkmus' quirky vocals and offbeat lyrics add to the album's mystique, making it a must-listen for fans of alternative music.

Overall, "Real Emotional Trash" is a triumph for Stephen Malkmus & The Jicks. It's a testament to the band's creativity and musicianship, and solidifies Malkmus' status as an indie rock legend. So grab your headphones, sit back, and prepare to be transported to a world of real emotional trash.
