J MASCIS + THE FOG
Best known as the remote frontman of the influential indie trio Dinosaur Jr., J Mascis has also pursued a solo career,
and been an occasional producer and film composer. While his work with Dinosaur Jr. is dominated by his lackadaisical
vocals and crushing, high-volume guitar work, much of his solo material has seen him exploring different directions

Like NeilYoung, his spiritual godfather, Mascis has a way of making his ramshackle melodies downright endearing, and if you're a kindhearted soul, that'll allow you to forgive the half-assed stuff. The best tracks find Mascis sticking his head up out of the murk of guitar noise and lazy melody to deliver slices of snappy grunge pop: "Sameday" bounces between minor-key whine and major-key stomp as Mascis croaks his way through a stoner's lament, while the bouncy "Can't I Take This On" shows that there's a lighter side to the dude's brooding mewl. Even with production help from Kevin Shields, his guitar skronk is only ever-present background buzz, but noise is only half the point: too lazy to find a new bag of tricks, Mascis is squeezing every drop of dingy melody and begrudging sincerity out of growing old and just coasting along...(AllMusic)
