Comes now another new song from the soon-to-be-released new album (“Mirror Traffic“) from Stephen Malkmus and the Jicks.  Based on this new song (Tigers, which you can download HERE) and the previously released Senators, we are excited to hear Malkmus moving away from his recent prog-blues-jam-guitar-star malaise.  We assume credit has to be given (begrudgingly) to soulless dilettante Beck for doing his producer-job and pushing Malkmus back to doing what he does best:  writing songs with strong melodies and evocative/humorous/poignant lyrics.  Check out Tigers below.
