“Traditional Techniques proves that Stephen Malkmus could be up to anything”
“The feeling that you might’ve put on the wrong record looms large over the first minute or so of Stephen Malkmus’ third(ish) solo album, as lush, drowsy drones creep into earshot amid gently noodling middle-eastern instrumentation and fluttering flute — particularly if the stock image of Malkmus in your head is of the ironically deadpan King Slacker at the head of Pavement, or even the calmly self”
“The former Pavement frontman—never someone who seemed interested in making a straightforward acoustic album—comes through with an unexpectedly deft and learned folk record.”
“After dipping a toe into electronica, the Pavement frontman is experimenting in folk”
“an enjoyable take on early-70s psych-folk”
“folky experimentalism and dad jokes galore”
