J Mascis (of Dinosaur Jr.) is releasing a new solo album, Elastic Days, on November 9 via Sub Pop. Previously he shared its first single, “See You At the Movies” (which was one of our Songs of the Week). Now he has shared another song from the album, “Everything She Said,” via a lyric video for the song (directed by Joe Salinas). Check it out below, followed by his upcoming tour dates (including some newly announced international tour dates).
Elastic Days was recorded at Mascis’ own Bisquiteen studio. Mascis plays most of the instruments, although the album features Ken Miauri on keyboards and guest vocals from Pall Jenkins (Black Heart Procession), Mark Mulcahy (Miracle Legion), and Zoë Randell (Luluc).
A previous press release pointed out that Elastic Days is quite melodic and Mascis said of the album: “The biggest difference with this record might have to do with the drums. I’d just got a new drum set I was really excited about. I don’t have too many drum outlets at the moment, so I played a lot more drums than I’d originally planned. I just kept playing. [laughs] I’d play the acoustic guitar parts then head right to the drums.”
On Mascis’ tour for the album he’ll be performing solo, but this time he’ll do it standing. “I used to just sit down and build a little fort around myself—amps, music stands, drinks stands, all that stuff,” he said in the press release. “But I just realized it sounds better if the amps are higher up because I’m so used to playing with stacks. So I’ll stand this time.”
Dinosaur Jr. released their last album, Give a Glimpse of What Yer Not, back in 2016 via Jagjaguwar. Mascis’ last solo full-length was 2014’s Tied to a Star.
