Because of diversion of the utterly fantastic Pavement world tour of 2010, it is not since 2009 that we have had the pleasure of the company of Stephen Malkmus & The Jicks in Australia. We have, however, had the pleasure of the 2011 release of the excellent ‘Mirror Traffic’ album, a split 7’’ with LA Guns and other recorded delights to keep us going until now when they finally pack the ultra-long distance suitcases, keep the liquids in their carry-on luggage under 100ml and head to Australia for their 2012 ‘Mirror Traffic Tour’. ‘Mirror Traffic’ was recorded at LA’s Sunset Sound Studios and at the home of the album’s producer, Beck, and has been rated by many as a career best. The 15 songs range from hard-rocking political commentary (‘Senator’), to touching, winsome folk, to virtuosic but melancholy and contrite kiwi pop.
