Heavy Blanket

Psychedelic Instrumental Rock Trio

Heavy Blanket is a project that features J Mascis, best known as the frontman of the influential alternative rock band Dinosaur Jr. The project leans towards a more instrumental, psychedelic rock sound, showcasing Mascis's guitar skills in a raw and unfiltered setting. Heavy Blanket's music is characterized by extended jam sessions, heavy riffs, and improvisational solos. The self-titled album "Heavy Blanket" was released in 2012 and received attention for its departure from Mascis's typical songwriting structure in favor of a more free-form expression of his guitar abilities. The project is not as widely recognized as Dinosaur Jr., but it serves as an outlet for Mascis to explore different musical landscapes and indulge in his love for guitar-driven soundscapes.
