Stephen Malkmus still has several cards up his sleeve. On the latest post-Pavement effort of “Sparkle Hard,” the NBA loving Oregonian sparkles harder with some of his most personal material to date. Watch the Brook Linder-directed video of Malkmus on a solo acoustic clip in the comfort of what appears to be his living room for the single “Solid Silk.” What fans are exposed to is an elder statesman of indie rock in full dad mode in the twilight of his career.
Catch the Jicks on tour later this month on tour with Soccer Mommy.
