The biggest surprise about J Mascis' solo debut Several Shades of Why? The fact that he's gone all acoustic troubadour on us, picking up an acoustic guitar and rocking, softly. You can watch the softer side of Mascis in this Pitchfork TV special presentation, which finds Mascis performing with a guitar in a Brooklyn studio. Above is video of his solo album's title track, and you can see more videos at Pitchfork.
Several Shades of Why is out now.
