Alt-rock icon and Dinosaur Jr. mastermind J Mascis performed on Late Night with Seth Meyers, where he performed a pair of songs.Joined by the show’s bandleader Fred Armisen on bass, Mascis powered through his “Every Morning” single, as well as his cover of Mazzy Star’s “Fade into You.”
Mascis performed “Every Morning” Fred Armisen on bass, Mark Mulcahy on keys, Graham Clise on guitar, and Kyle Spence on drums.
Touring in support of 2018’s acclaimed Elastic Days, Mascis’ solo career sees him set aside the ultra-volume Dinosaur Jr are famed for to create what Pitchfork describe as “perfectly refined folk-rock”.
Reminiscent of the bittersweet melodicism of Neil Young and Tom Petty and the hypnotic guitar motifs of Kurt Vile, Elastic Days is predominately acoustic, giving ample space to J’s voice and songwriting skills.
With a long-standing reputation as one of the greatest guitarists of his generation, the up and close and personal gigs see Mascis performing entirely solo, showcasing his recent work along with a smattering of classic Dinosaur Jr cuts.
