Dinosaur Jr‘s J. Mascis has shared “Set Me Down,” the second single from his upcoming solo album What Do We Do Now. The style of this album, acoustic but “full band” with piano and a few ripping leads/solos, is very appealing and perfect for J’s weary vocal style. You can watch the animated video by Callum Scott-Dyson below.
J just wrapped up a seven-show Brooklyn residency with Dinosaur Jr where they celebrated the 30th anniversary of Where You Been, and they’ll continue celebrating in January at shows in Portland and Seattle. They’ve also got non-WYB East Coast dates, including Asbury Park’s Stone Pony on January 24, that are will their old SST labelmates Das Damen (who recently reunited). The only J Mascis solo dates are in Australia during Dinosaur Jr’s tour there. All dates are listed below.
