J Mascis – “Fade Into You” (Mazzy Star Cover)

J Mascis

Dinosaur Jr. frontman and eternal guitar hero J Mascis now has his very own shoe, a collaboration with the L.A. company Keep. It’s purple, with a design on the back that’s made to look like Mascis’s guitar strap, and it comes with a 7″ picture disc from Mascis. On that single, Mascis covers a song I really wish I’d used as the first dance at my wedding: Mazzy Star’s soft-focus alt-rock slow-jam classic “Fade Into You.” In Mascis’s hands, it’s a craggy acoustic country lament, and even Mascis’s blazing soloing is just there to serve the song. It’s awfully pretty, and you can hear it below.
