So, Stephen Malkmus has an electronic album coming out in March, a prospect i would swear was some kind of joke until hearing first single "Viktor Borgia." The upcoming "Groove Denied" is not so much a boom-chigga-boom kind of thing as it is an homage to the early electronic music coming out of Germany in the 1970s. Analog synthesizers, drum machines, and modulators make for a veritable motorik krautrock affair, and weirdly, it suits Malkmus, mixing that sound with his penchant for quirky hooks and sardonic wit. Watch the video for "Viktor Borgia" below and get the LP from Matador in March.
