An almost all acoustic album from J. Mascis? I wouldn’t believe you until I actually listened to one of the tracks with my own ears. Alas, that’s what we’re getting. Sub Pop will be releasing “Several Shades of Why” this March 15th. The album will see help from co-conspirators: Kurt Vile, Sophie Trudeau (A Silver Mount Zion), Kurt Fedora (long-time collusionist), Kevin Drew (Broken Social Scene), Ben Bridwell (Band of Horses), Pall Jenkins (Black Heart Procession), Matt Valentine (The Golden Road), and Suzanne Thorpe (Wounded Knees). He’ll hit the road and play Hi-Dive late April. Cool, so this means I’ll only need my earplugs for half of the show.
