Stephen Malkmus & The Jicks – “Cinnamon And Lesbians” Video
Last month we heard (and dissected) “Lariat,” the lead single from Stephen Malkmus & The Jicks’ upcoming Wig Out At Jagbags. Now comes our second taste from the album in the form of director Jay Winebrenner’s “Cinnamon And Lesbians” video. Like “Lariat,” the song is absolutely not going to shock anyone who’s been listening to Malkmus any time in the past decade — i.e. it’s inscrutable, preternaturally melodic, slightly jammy, and floats along at an easygoing pace. As for the video, there’s some kind of goofy storyline interspersed between Jicks performance clips and other assorted quirk. It’s nice; find out for yourself below.
Wig Out At Jagbags is out 1/7/14 via Matador. Head here to enter a contest to win a private concert from Malkmus & The Jicks at Other Music 1/9. Other Jicks’ tour dates are below.
