Stephen Malkmus Shares Unreleased Song, Adds Tour Dates

Stephen Malkmus 2020

It’s shaping up to be a busy 2020 for Stephen Malkmus.

So far, Malkmus has a new album, Traditional Techniques, slated to be released in March and today, he added a bunch of new dates to his 2020 tour.

Malkmus will now hit Los Angeles, San Francisco and a bunch more cities on the West Coast and Canada beginning in late June in addition to his previously announced shows on the East Coast.

Additionally, Malkmus shared a performance of the previously unreleased “Brainwashed” from a recent appearance on La Blogothèque. According to a release, the clip was directed by Thibaut Charlut with sound direction by Henri d’Armancourt. This acoustic version of the song was filmed at Parisian café La Fontaine de Belleville. The song will appear on Traditional Techniques.
