**About J Mascis**
https://www.jmascis.com
Best known as the remote frontman of the influential indie trio , J Mascis has also pursued a solo career and been an occasional producer and film composer. While his work with is dominated by his lackadaisical vocals and crushing, high-volume guitar work, much of his solo material has seen him going in different directions. Mascis' louder side made itself felt on two albums with his project , 2000's More Light and 2002's Feel So Free, and he revisited his back catalog in acoustic form with 2021's Fed Up and Feeling Strange: Live and in Person 1993-1998. But he also cut nuanced, semi-acoustic music with a more personal lyrical perspective on 2011's Several Shades of Why and 2024's What Do We Do Now.
**About Pink Mountaintops**
https://www.pinkmountaintops.com/
Since their 2004 self-titled debut, Pink Mountaintops have supplied an outlet for the more arcane fascinations of Black Mountain frontman Stephen McBean. On Peacock Pools—Pink Mountaintops’ first new music in eight years—the British Columbia-born singer/songwriter/multi-instrumentalist shares 12 songs sparked from his magpie-like curiosity for a wild expanse of cultural artifacts: the sci-fi body horror of David Cronenberg, Disney Read-Along Records from the 1970s, early Pink Floyd and mid-career Gary Numan, John Carpenter movies, Ornette Coleman live videos, a 1991 essay on the cult of bodybuilding by postmodern feminist Camille Paglia. Featuring counterculture icons like Steven McDonald of Redd Kross and Dale Crover of Melvins, Peacock Pools alchemizes those obsessions into a body of work with its own enchanting power, the sonic equivalent of falling down a thousand rabbit holes at once and landing somewhere gloriously strange.
