J Mascis - Tied To A Star

The great Dinosaur Jr. frontman J Mascis is famous for blazing, melodic, eardrum-rupturing, feedback-drenched solos, but his dazed, muttering, tired-of-the-world voice is just as essential a piece of his band's sound. And on his own, Mascis has lately been using that voice in the service of lush, nostalgic folk-rock songs that sound completely natural coming out of him.

Featuring guest appearances from Cat Power's Chan Marshall, Black Heart Procession's Pall Jenkins, Mark Mulcahy and Ken Maiuri from Young@Heart Chorus. Mascis self-produced the LP, enlisting mixing help from longtime Dinosaur Jr. collaborator John Agnello.
