J Mascis Covers The Cure B-Side “Breathe”

 J Mascis has shared a new cover of deep cut from the Cure that was originally releases in 1987. Breathe was originally released as a b-side to Catch in 1987.

Speaking with Uncut about his love of the Cure, Mascis said “Robert Smith’s guitars have a washy sort of sound that encompasses you, and his voice has a great pure tone.  I related to the music. It made me feel “Oh yeah, this is where I’m at, this guy’s out there feeling the same thing, it comforted me.”

Mascis is heading out for 4 solo dates including a sold out date February 8th at the Sinclair in Cambridge, MA.
