Stephen Malkmus Announces Electronic Album Groove Denied , Shares Video for New Song: Watch

Less than a year after the release of Sparkle Hard, Stephen Malkmus has announced another new record. The long-rumored electronic album (which was allegedly rejected by his label) is called Groove Denied and it’s due out March 15 via Matador. Below, watch his new video for “Viktor Borgia,” which finds Malkmus showing off his moves in a CGI dance battle with what appears to be a render of Ariana Grande. Also, scroll down to see his upcoming tour dates. Malkmus solo tickets are available to purchase here; find Jicks tickets here.

His first solo release without the Jicks since 2001, Groove Denied finds Malkmus accompanying himself on synth, keyboard, drum machines, and more. “Yes, I was thinking things like Pete Shelley’s ‘Homosapien,’ the Human League, and DIY synth music circa 1982,” he said in a statement. “And also about how in the New Wave Eighties, these suburban 18-and-over dance clubs were where all the freaks would meet—a sanctuary.”
