A single from Stephen Malkmus’ forthcoming solo record, Traditional Techniques, “Xian Man” is far more acoustic and western rock-influenced than his previous release—an electronic album titled Groove Denied.

Reminiscent of work by the Velvet Underground, this release will please longtime fans of the genre and Malkmus.
