The challenge with album number seven is one that any successful band with integrity faces: how to safeguard that legacy and hold on to their identity without rehashing old ground (unthinkable), and also say something meaningful while (crucially) having fun doing it? With Sparkle Hard, Malkmus, Mike Clark (keyboards), Joanna Bolme (bass) and Jake Morris (drums) do exactly that.
It’s light ’n’ breezy, head-down heavy, audacious, melancholic and reflective, goodtime and bodacious, and it pulls off the smartest trick: it’s both unmistakeably The Jicks and – due to the streamlining of their trademark tics and turns, plus the introduction of some unexpected flourishes (Auto-Tune! A fiddle! Guest vocalist Kim Gordon! One seven-minute song with an acoustic folk intro!) – The Jicks refashioned. If 2014’s Wig Out At Jag Bags balanced the lengthy prog workouts of Pig Lib with Mirror Traffic’s sparky pop moments, then Sparkle Hard bears less obvious direct relation to what’s come before. It also has turbocharged energy and enthusiasm by the truckload.

Stephen无疑是50岁以上摇滚歌手的异类,当他们需要用经验补偿减弱的能量时,他高度还原了20多年前的自己。这不全是褒奖哦,他还在写意义不明的诗来装酷,除了两次:离奇地用beautiful形容bike lane,和请Kim Gordon一起唱marry on,他终于用给社会和人生的两首精彩讽刺诗证明了成长有益处。至于他和Jicks为何能完美保存Pavement表演的微妙火花,我只能说他是天才,还...
