Matador Records’ Stephen Malkmus & The Jicks have unveiled another world-class compositions with new single, “Refute”. The track featuring guest vocals from Kim Gordon can be found on their new hotly anticipated new album, ‘Sparkle Hard’.
Pressed to explain, Stephen claimed his intent was to “queer the duet”, by playing with “Nashville tropes in light of current trends in evolutionary psychology” and swapping “the classic He Said/She Said narrative, where in this case the ‘wife’ is the cheater, and the omniscient narrator enters at the end to offer cold comfort.”
