Wig Out at Jagbags, the sixth studio album from Stephen Malkmus and the Jicks, came out on Matador on January 7, 2014, the follow-up to Mirror Traffic. The title is a pun stacked on a pun: a tip of the cap to Dag Nasty's Wig Out at Denko's, crossed with the nickname regulars give London's DreamBags JaguarShoes, and, Malkmus has also said, a scrap of Chicago slang he picked up on a fantasy basketball message board. He found both funny, which tells you plenty.
The Pavement frontman's band, with Mike Clark and Joanna Bolme alongside him, plays indie rock with its shirt untucked: loose and tuneful, guitar lines wandering off and coming back with souvenirs. Critics mostly liked it, and Jeff Rosenstock, writing in Alternative Press, praised how much life and melody it packed while roaming all over American rock. "Lariat" is its breeziest singalong, and Sparkle Hard came next.
