In a recent interview with Uncut, the artist talked about his latest song: “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. because it made me feel “Oh yeah, this is where I’m at, this guy’s out there feeling the same thing, it comforted me.”
“Breathe” follows the release of Mascis’s 2024 full-length, What Do We Do Now, which features the standout singles “Can’t Believe We’re Here,” “Set Me Down,” “Old Friends” and “Right Behind You.” As for Mascis‘s cover of “Breathe,” the tune is wonderful by how the artist shows more emotions through his guitar playing and vocal performance.
