the Jicks, perhaps because Wig Out at Jagbags - the first album he's recorded since reuniting with his '90s band in 2010; it's the also the first without Janet Weiss, who left in 2010 to play with Wild Flag and has been replaced by Jake Morris - is nimble in a way Malkmus has rarely been

Wig Out at Jagbags is the sixth studio album by Stephen Malkmus and the Jicks. It was released on January 7, 2014 by Matador Records.

By 2014, Stephen Malkmus’ solo career has casually strolled for longer than his original band, Pavement, put in the effort. By keeping the music relatively light and his lyrics closer to epigrams than emotionally invested l-union addresses, Malkmus and his solid (if somewhat anonymous) backing band sway through songs littered with quirky references (naturally) and jammy-indie-classic rock guitar riffs just a mite flashier than anything Pavement tried

Wig Out At Jagbags is Stephen Malkmus' sixth solo effort with the Jicks and finds the formerPavement leader (alongside Joanna Bolme, JakeMorris & Mike Clark) at his most playful and joyous in recent memory. The album, written in Berlin & recorded in Belgium with longtimePavement and Jicks associate Remko Schouten is a looser, more unbridled affair that gathers those trademark guitar moves and lyrical acrobatics into an amalgam of what SM himself calls: "Projected Imaginings of Rock and Roll from the freezing north, rendered by West Coast stalwarts and a Dutch Uncle"

Stephen Malkmus is one of the last Nineties indie-rock titans who has kept making his own eccentric music, on his own merry terms. Though written while Malkmus was living in Berlin, the excellently titled Wig Out at Jagbags – his sixth album with the Jicks – shows his heart’s still in his native California, as he whips up song structures that give him room to indulge his taste for hazy, cosmic jive, sardonic wit and unabashed guitar beauty. Somehow, the joker who sang Fight This Generation has ended up as the Eddie Vedder of irony

On the album’s second single, Lariat, Malkmus essentially proposes a toast: We grew up listening to the music of the best decade evah/ Talkin’ ‘bout the ADDs! Like their previous outing, 2011’s Mirror Traffic, Jagbags doesn’t have a single extended jam on it. Lariat and its immediate successor, Houston Hades, provide the album’s first comforting back-to-back, the latter building around a lovely organ-anchored classic rock arrangement and an all-smiles Tearin’ it away! chant outro that gives it the feel of a side A closer. Wig Out at Jagbags is a reminder that as long as we’ll keep listening and guessing, he’ll just keep playing guitar solos and spitting our analytical words for him right back at us, adorned with a rhyme and stripped of all seriousness. Essential Tracks: Lariat, Houston Hades, and Independence Street.

I been tripping my face off since breakfast," avers Stephen Malkmus, late in the Jicks' sixth album. The song is Cinnamon and Lesbians, and even though you don't believe him for a second – Malkmus, 47, is now a responsible father of two who moved, briefly, to Berlin in the run-up to this album, to enjoy its family-friendliness rather than its techno dungeons – that carefree line telegraphs something important about Wig Out at Jagbags. Wig Out at Jagbags is exceedingly comfortable with Malkmus's feted past as a pop slacker-savant. It's OK with the idea of having fun, like Pavement did. It seems comfortable, too, with the idea of a late 80s/early 90s revival. There's even a little Pixies-grunge fusion in a song called Shibboleth, with its Kim Deal-in-Doc Martens bassline and Black Francis guitar squeal.
