*[consequenceofsound.net] Our second taste of Stephen Malkmus’ first of two new albums, Mirror Traffic, comes in the form of “Tigers”. “We are the tigers/we need separate rooms/we are so divided/let us in,” the former Pavement ringleader croons, over a soiree of guitar lines and bluegrass rhythms. It’s bitter, but still sugary enough that you won’t stop licking your lips as you sing along. Two for two, Malkmus. We’ll still act like we haven’t heard the album, so let’s just hope the rest of Mirror Traffic is just as good. (No, it is…)
Check out the track below (via Stereogum). Mirror Traffic hits stores August 23rd via Matador Records.
*[pitchfork.com] New York/New Jersey indie revivalists Cymbals Eat Guitars will release Lenses Alien, their sophomore album on August 30 in the U.S. via Barsuk, moved up from September 13. (It's out September 12 in the UK via Memphis Industries.)
Down below, enter an email address into the widget to get a free MP3 of the album's opening track, the intimidatingly titled "Rifle Eyesight (Proper Name)".
Soon after the album lands, the band will head out on a North American tour, with Hooray for Earth opening. We've got their dates HERE.
