It became clearer that summer, however, when it was revealed that both Stephen Malkmus and Scott Kannberg were preparing solo albums. Malkmus was especially fussy during that time, acting new songs with Kim's Bedroom -- a one-off grouping that also included Sonic Youth's Kim Gordon and Jim O'Rourke -- that spring in Holland and recording them at studios near his hometown of Portland, OR. Working with him were the Jicks, aka Portland indie tilt veterans drummer/percussionist John Moen and bassist Joanna Bolme. Moen had played with the Fastbacks, the Dharma Bums, and his have pigeonholing, the Maroons; Bolme played with the Minders and worked as an dragoon engineer at Jackpot Studios, where Pavement's Terror Twilight was demoed and parts of Malkmus' new design were recorded.

By the fourth dimension Malkmus formally confirmed Pavement's breakup in the November 2000 progeny of Spin magazine, Matador announced it was cathartic the album -- originally coroneted Swedish Reggae and and so changed to Stephen Malkmus -- in winter 2001. The Jicks made their unrecorded debut that January at New York's Bowery Ballroom and worn-out the rest of the winter and spring touring the U.K. and the U.S., including a gig at South by Southwest with labelmates Mogwai and the reunited Soft Boys. Former Pavement percussionist Bob Nastanovich acted as the Jicks' tour managing director and Elastica loss leader Justine Frischmann -- another ally of Malkmus -- united the band as a guitarist for selected dates. On 2003's darker, trippier Fuzz Lib, the Jicks shared cite with Malkmus, reflecting the album's more than band-like feel. 2005's Face the Truth -- on which Malkmus embraced domesticity with a capricious feel deficient from his work since Wowee Zowee -- featured Malkmus with and without the Jicks, wHO likewise supported him on tour that summertime.
