Description
On Elastic Days, the Dinosaur, Jr. frontman retreats from his usual buzzed-out, shredding sound. The album is gentle, soothing, and unprecedented. Mascis makes a dark blend of acoustic pop, his signature nervousness still bleeding through every bit of Elastic Days. It contains every element of Dinosaur Jr.’s appeal, from the soaring hooks to the blistering guitar solos—though Mascis has cleaned his tone up, or at least turned the master volume down from a 10—and inward.This is Mascis at his most playful and fun, further adding to one of the most accomplished back catalogues in the history of indie rock.
