J Mascis has shared his album title-track "Elastic Days", accompanied by visuals with miming drag icon Dina Martina.

"Elastic Days" is the fourth track to be shared from J Mascis' Elastic Days record, after "See You at the Movies", "Web so Dense" and "Everything She Said".

The new video features lip-syncing drag icon Dina Martina. Mascis said of the video, “I’ve been a big Dina Martina fan for a long time. I’ve seen her perform many times over the years. I’m glad that I got her to do this video before she becomes an untouchable superstar. I am amazed at how the video came out, I’m so psyched.”

J Mascis Elastic Days was recorded in his own own Bisquiteen studio. While Mascis has done the majority of the legwork for his new solo project, there are a few features and guest instrumentals from Ken Miauri on keyboards, Pall Jenkins (Black Heart Procession), Mark Mulcahy (Miracle Legion, etc.), and Zoë Randell (Luluc).

Elastic Days will be J Mascis' third solo release, and follows on from his 2014 solo offering Tied To A Star, and Dinosaur Jr.'s 2016 release Give a Glimpse of What Yer Not.

"Elastic Days" is out now. The record Elastic Days lands on Friday 9 November via Sub Pop. J Mascis plays London's Islington Assembly Hall on 19 January as part of his UK tour. Find out more.
