    Fifth studio album by indie-rock legend and guitar master J. Mascis from Dinosaur Jr.!

    What We Do Now expands on musical virtuoso J Mascis's sound, featuring a more band-driven sound, with drums and electric guitar leads, and keyboards by Ken Mauri of The B52s, and steel guitar by Canadian psych/folk/experimental musician Matthew "Doc" Dunn.

    Today, J also shares the star-strewn official video for What Do We Do Now's lead single, "Can't Believe We're Here," which features appearances from J and a few of his friends and foes. The video was edited by Adam Bale at Ballad Pictures.

    What Do We Do Now began to come together during the waning days of the pandemic. Utilizing his own Bisquiteen Studio, J started working on writing a series of tunes on acoustic with a different dynamic than the stuff he creates for Dino. "When I'm writing for the band," he says, "I'm always trying to think of doing things Lou and Murph would fit into. For myself, I'm thinking more about what I can do with just an acoustic guitar, even for the leads. Of course, this time, I added full drums and electric leads, although the rhythm parts are still all acoustic. Usually, I try to do the solo stuff more simply so I can play it by myself, but I really wanted to add the drums. Once that started, everything else just fell into place. So it ended up sounding a lot more like a band record. I dunno why I did that exactly, but it's just what happened."

    Mascis is currently on the road with Dinosaur Jr., who are touring to celebrate the 30th anniversary of their sixth studio album, Where You Been.
