Elastic Days by J Mascis

Out November 9 on Sub Pop. Over the past decade, Mascis has been alternating his mellower, semi-acoustic solo releases with harder-rocking albums from his band Dinosaur Jr. The latter released Give a Glimpse of What Yer Not in 2016, so now it's time for a solo set. Mascis will also tour in November and December in support of the new album.
