This version of What Do We Do Now comes as a 1xCD. -
"What Do We Do Now" is an expressive and intimate CD by J Mascis that showcases his unmistakable songwriting, warm guitar tones and characteristic, slightly fragile voice. Across the album, Mascis blends melodic indie rock with reflective, often melancholic lyrics, creating songs that feel both immediate and timeless. The arrangements move between quieter, almost acoustic moments and more expansive, guitar-driven passages, always centered on strong melodies and subtle dynamics. This CD is ideal for listeners who appreciate thoughtful songwriting, nuanced guitar work and a contemplative mood that slowly unfolds with each listen.
As a founding figure of Dinosaur Jr., J Mascis is regarded as one of the key architects of alternative and indie rock. Known for his distinctive guitar style, powerful solos and a unique blend of noise and melody, he has influenced countless bands since the late 1980s. His solo work, including projects under his own name and acoustic releases, has further highlighted his talent for introspective songs and memorable hooks. With "What Do We Do Now", he once again demonstrates why he is considered a highly respected songwriter and musician in the independent music world.
The CD is released by Sub Pop, one of the most influential independent labels in modern music history. Founded in Seattle, Sub Pop became famous in the late 1980s and early 1990s for helping to launch and shape the grunge and alternative rock movement, working with seminal bands and consistently championing new, independent voices. Today, Sub Pop stands for a carefully curated roster, artistic freedom and high production quality, giving artists like J Mascis a trusted platform for authentic and uncompromising music.
