J Mascis has shared his cover of The Cure’s “Breathe.” This single is available today via streaming services from Sub Pop. In a recent interview Mascis did for Uncut about The Cure, he shared: “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 will embark on a 4 date solo tour, beginning with a SOLD OUT show on Feb. 08 at the Sinclair in Cambridge, with additional shows on Feb. 12th at Underground Arts in Philadelphia, Feb. 13th at Racket in NYC, and February 20th at Foro Indierocks in Mexico City.

“Breathe” follows the release of his 2024 full-length What Do We Do Now, which featured the standout singles “Can’t Believe We’re Here”, “Set Me Down”, “Old Friends,” and “Right Behind You.”
