J Mascis is the main man behind Alt-Rock legends 'Dinosaur Jr.' The other members of Dinosaur Jr. are Lou Barlow (also of Sebadoh and The Folk Implosion) and Murph. They formed in the mid 80's and disbanded in the late 90's... and then reunited in 2005 and released a couple of albums thereafter. J Mascis has also been releasing albums under his own name, and with many side projects, for twenty years or so. His guitar sound is like an Alt-Rock Neil Young with added distortion. His latest solo album 'Several Shades of Why' is an acoustic album, his only previous acoustic album was 'Martin + Me' from 1996, which means he doesn't put down the electric guitar too often. But this album is proof that he can also write perfect Alt-Folk songs... "Is It Done" is one of them.
