Alternative\/lo-fi king Stephen Malkmus releases his latest solo album, concluding his trilogy!! As Pavement's reunion in 2020 generates excitement, frontman Stephen Malkmus, a leading figure in the alternative\/lo-fi scene, releases his latest solo album on Matador! Following \"Sparkle Hard\" (2018) under the name Stephen Malkmus \u0026amp; The Jicks, which featured a sound reminiscent of the Pavement era and was pure Malkmus, and \"Groove Denied\" (2019), his first solo album in 18 years, which boldly incorporated electronic sounds and was experimental, this is the final album in the trilogy. Titled \"Folk Music on a New Stage,\" the album primarily features songs born from the experience of experimenting with various acoustic instruments during the production of \"Sparkle Hard\" at Halfling Studio in Portland. Centered around Marcumas' 12-string acoustic guitar, the album utilizes a diverse range of instruments, including Afghan instruments, to create a grand yet unpredictable sound influenced by folk-rock. For the recording, Chris Funk, a multi-instrumentalist from the US band The Decemberists (who also produced \"Sparkle Hard\"), served as engineer, while Matt Sweeney, guitarist for Chavez and Zwan and known for his work with Bonnie Prince Billy, played guitar throughout the album. The Japanese CD edition includes liner notes, lyric translations, and one bonus track.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"TOKYO JAPAN CD SHOP","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53227397579061,"sku":"4580211853757","price":4180.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1011\/5966\/5973\/files\/41BqVEWxFvL._AC.jpg?v=1785385210","url":"https:\/\/tokyojapancdshop.com\/products\/4580211853757","provider":"TOKYO JAPAN CD SHOP","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
