Mirror Traffic is the new Stephen Malkmus & The Jicks album. Recorded at Sunset Sound studios LA and at the home of the album's producer, Beck.

With the question of a Pavement reunion having been firmly and finally answered last year with a yes, Stephen Malkmus & The Jicks return with Mirror Traffic, their most immediate and energised set to date. Recorded in Los Angeles and produced by Beck, Mirror Traffic is an album comprised of fifteen almost-pop songs, and the sound of a band with a spring in their step. "This record," says Malkmus "is relatively approachable." less
