Stephen Malkmus and his Jicks will release their first UK single from Real Emotional Trash on June 2 via Domino. The tune they've chosen is "Gardenia", and they are backing it with a new song called "Walk Into the Mirror".

The band will walk into the tour vehicle for festival dates this month and European shows in June. Support on the UK shows comes from Domino mates Wild Beasts. Then in August, the band plays Lollapalooza.

In related news, the Crust Brothers' Marquee Mark album was recently released digitally for the first time, courtesy of Comedy Minus One. And who are the Crust Brothers? Why that would be the members of Silkworm joined by Mr. Malkmus. And what is on Marquee Mark? It's a recording of a live show from 1997, and it's all covers.
