With Pavement on the road most of last year I almost forgot Malkmus had been fronting his other band, the Jicks, for nearly a decade. With his old band is back on the shelf, the Jicks have a new (Beck produced) record ready to roll out August 23rd, via Matador, entitled Mirror Traffic. “Senator,” the first taste off the album is, in true Malkmus form, a sarcastic wink to the American political arena.
