Robbie Augspurger‘>Less than a 12 months after the discharge of Sparkle Hard, Stephen Malkmus has introduced one other new document. The long-rumored electronic album (which was allegedly rejected by his label) is known as Groove Denied and it’s due out March 15 by way of Matador. Below, watch his new video for “Viktor Borgia,” which finds Malkmus displaying off his strikes in a CGI dance battle with what seems to be a render of Ariana Grande. Also, scroll all the way down to see his upcoming tour dates. Malkmus solo tickets can be found to buy here; discover Jicks tickets here.
His first solo launch with out the Jicks since 2001, Groove Denied finds Malkmus accompanying himself on synth, keyboard, drum machines, and extra. “Yes, I was thinking things like Pete Shelley’s ‘Homosapien,’ the Human League, and DIY synth music circa 1982,” he mentioned in an announcement. “And also about how in the New Wave Eighties, these suburban 18-and-over dance clubs were where all the freaks would meet—a sanctuary.”
