What Do We Do Now is the first solo album J Mascis has recorded since 1996. This is obviously not a very aggressive release schedule, but considering the live albums, guest spots, and his work in various other bands (Dinosaur Jr., The Fog, Heavy Blanket, Witch, Sweet Apple, etc.), it is, in the words of Lou Reed (Dinosaur Jr., The Fog, Heavy Blanket, Witch, Sweet Apple, etc.), in the words of Lou Reed, \"J's week beats your year. What Do We Do Now began to come together during the waning days of the pandemic. Utilizing his own studio, Bisquiteen, J began writing a series of songs on acoustic guitar that had a different dynamic than those he would write for Dinosaur Jr. When I write for the band, I always think about what might suit Lou and Murph. When I'm soloing, I'm thinking more about what I can do with one acoustic guitar, even lead guitar.Of course, this time I kept the rhythm part acoustic, but added full drums and electric leads. Normally I keep the solo parts simpler so that I can play them myself, but I really wanted to add drums. Once that started, everything else fell into place. So it ended up sounding more like a band album. I don't know why I did it that way, but it did,\" he says. The album also features two guest musicians. Ken Mauri (of the B52s) from western Massachusetts plays piano on a few tracks. The other is Canadian psychedelic\/folk\/experimental musician Matthew \"Doc\" Dunn, who J met through Matt Valentine. What Do We Do Now has the greatest set of solo songs J has ever written, and the presentation is perfect. When asked if he will be touring with this album, J said he plans to tour a few weekends, but will not be putting together a band.While you can be sure that these songs would sound great solo or acoustic, the arrangements on the album are truly amazing and add a cool and different element to Mascis' instantly recognizable approach to sound creation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTracklisting:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1.Can't Believe We're Here\u003cbr\u003e2.What Do We Do Now\u003cbr\u003e3.Right Behind You\u003cbr\u003e4.You Don't Understand Me\u003cbr\u003e5.I Can't Find You\u003cbr\u003e6.Old Friends\u003cbr\u003e7.It's True\u003cbr\u003e8.Set Me Down\u003cbr\u003e9.Hangin Out\u003cbr\u003e10.End Is Gettin Shaky\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Sub Pop","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48211412615457,"sku":"98787160529","price":2421.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0568\/8482\/2076\/files\/98787160529.jpg?v=1709315248","url":"https:\/\/cdsvinyljapan.com\/products\/98787160529","provider":"CDs Vinyl Japan Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
