J Mascis + The Fog ready LP plus UK-only single
2 September 2002

J Mascis, of Dinosaur Jr fame, returned in 2000 with an album under the name J Mascis + The Fog featuring guest appearances by, among others, Robert Pollard of Guided By Voices and Kevin Shields, ex My Bloody Valentine. Berlin’s City Slang Records has revealed that at the end of the month they’ll release a UK-only 7" single with A-side Everybody Lets Me Down, to be followed on 14 October with the full length Free So Free. Back in the USA, Culver City, California’s Ultimatum Music releases Free So Free on 8 October.
    City Slang claims the production quality on the new self-produced disc is much better than on 2000’s More Light, also self-produced, which for all its energy comes across as a bit muddy. Check our link (below) for a full-length MP3 of new song Tell The Truth.
    Tracks on Free So Free will be Freedom, If That’s How It’s Going To Be, Set Us Free, Bobbin, Free So Free, Tell The Truth, Someone Said, Everybody Lets Me Down, Say The Word, and Outside.
    Mascis has been touring in Europe, and has posted some solo dates for this and next month in the UK and the US. They are
