The Breeders join forces with Dinosaur Jr. on the new single, "Divine Mascis"
The Breeders release "Divine Mascis" which is taken from their upcoming reissue of Last Splash, due for release later this week.
"Divine Mascis", is a never before heard version of "Divine Hammer" from the original recording sessions, featuring vocals from Dinosaur Jr.’s J Mascis.
J Mascis’ version of the song came as a pleasant surprise to the rest of the band. Speaking to Uncut, Kelley Deal explains: “At the time, J Mascis was a guitar god… we sent him the tape to put guitar on, so when it came back and he’s got rid of our voices and just put his vocal on, we were like, ‘Wha?!’ But it’s really cute. There’s a freshness to it, and it’s just so weird. I like his voice and the idiosyncratic way he sings and delivers lines. So I thought it was really neat.”
The track is released with a new video featuring J Mascis and directed by Sabrina Nichols, and follows on from the release of "Go Man Go".
Last Splash (30th Anniversary Original Analog Edition), will be released this Friday (22 September, and is available to pre-order.
