Stephen Malkmus - Jenny The Ess Dog
Review by Sergio Cañón
Jenny The Ess Dog, the debut solo album by Stephen Malkmus, showcases the indie rock veteran's songwriting and musicianship in a new light. Malkmus, best known as the frontman of the influential band Pavement, explores a more introspective and experimental sound on this record.
The album opens with "Black Book," a dreamy and atmospheric track that sets the tone for the rest of the album. Malkmus' signature guitar riffs are still present, but they are more subdued and layered with synths and other instruments. The lyrics are cryptic and poetic, hinting at personal struggles and existential questions.
"Post-Paint Boy" and "Phantasies" are two standout tracks that showcase Malkmus' talent for catchy hooks and clever wordplay. The former has a groovy bassline and a chorus that will stay in your head for days, while the latter is a surreal and whimsical ode to imagination.
Other highlights include "Jo Jo's Jacket," a melancholic ballad with a haunting melody, and "Deado," a jazzy instrumental that showcases Malkmus' guitar skills. The album closes with "Church on White," a beautiful and introspective track that reflects on mortality and spirituality.
