Stephen Malkmus & The Jicks are gearing up for a big 2014 as the band’s first album in three years, Wig Out At Jagbags, is set for a January 7 release. Malkmus recently spoke with Rolling Stone about the new album telling the mag, “When you do an album, you go down a rabbit hole of you don’t know where you’re going…We got a little more of a 1966, tighten-it-up [thing]. It’s coming out in January, so it’ll be, like, 12 months of domination. Sorry for the other bands.”

The Jicks head off for a European tour in January and hopefully they’ll play stateside soon there after. Today, the band has shared a lyric video for the first track off the new album. Take a look/listen to “Lariat,” a jangly throwback to Stephen’s Pavement days that even includes a Grateful Dead shout out and has us excited hear more:
