Through 3 solo albums and his prior role as the pen & voice behind the vast
majority of the Pavement oeuvre, Stephen Malkmus long ago staked his claim as
one of the most fertile minds in American music. That said, heÆs never made a
record that covered nearly as much stylistic ground as the forthcoming æReal
Emotional TrashÆ, nor, it could be argued, has Stephen made an album until now
that packed as much of an emotional (not nearly trashy enough for some) wallop.
ôCold Sonö, ôOut Of Reachesö and ôWe CanÆt Help Youö are amongst the more
gorgeous, contemplative songs Malkmus has recorded, though we should stress a)
thereÆs no shortage of dark humor scattered through RET and b) Malkmus remains a
shit-hot guitarist (ridiculously so). YouÆll not be surprised the persons
entrusted with selling this record will insist æReal Emotional TrashÆ is
MalmkusÆ finest hour. But you might be very startled when you hear it for
yourself.
æReal Emotional TrashÆ , the second album thus far to be credited to Stephen
Malkmus & The Jicks, was recorded with the chopstastic musical accompaniment of
Joanna Bolme, Janet Weiss and Mike Clark. The album was recorded with engineer
T.J. Doherty at Snow Ghost Studios in Whitefish, MT.
