Last month, Stephen Malkmus returned with the Jicks for a new song, “Middle America” and an extensive tour itinerary, which seemed to suggest that a follow-up album to 2014’s Wig Out At Jagbags was on the way. Malkmus has just announced that album: It’s called Sparkle Hard and it’s out on 5/18. It includes a feature from Kim Gordon, on a song called “Refute,” though that’s not the track you’ll be hearing today. Instead, Malkmus has shared a new one called “Shiggy,” a compact and scraggly one about perpetual waiting. “Come from the underground/ Throw me right back where I belong/ I got no time for this/ So… whenever forever arrives,” Malkmus sings. Listen below.
