Release Notes:

If you've ever thought to yourself, "J Mascis' guitar solos piss me off", well, maybe
his drum solos will touch you in the right spot. The long-haired dude from the
recently-reunited Dinosaur Jr. is now behind the kit in a new stoner rock band:
Witch. Standing in front of J in Witch are Kyle Thomas of Feathers on vox, Asa Irons
(also of Feathers) on guitar, and Mascis' longtime pal Dave Sweetapple on bass.

For those lacking faith in Mascis' ability to pull a reverse Dave Grohl, have no
fear. He was originally the drummer in Deep Wound, his pre-Dino Jr. hardcore band
with Lou Barlow, and has pounded the skins with people like Mike Watt, Epic
Soundtracks, the Velvet Monkeys, and Gobblehoof, as well as on various Dinosaur Jr.
records.

As for Feathers...why does that name sound familiar? Well, the eight-piece Vermont
band bearing crazy mountain instruments like the dulcimer and the lap harp have been
opening for quite a few big shots lately, like Sufjan Stevens, Smog, Bonnie "Prince"
Billy, and, of course, Dinosaur Jr. They also guested on Devendra Banhart's Cripple
Crow album (hey, who didn't?), and self-released an album last summer.

Witch's self-titled debut album, recorded with John Agnello (Dinosaur Jr., Son Volt,
Screaming Trees) is due out on Tee Pee Records on March 7, 2006. The tracklist is
short. This either means no bang for your buck or, more likely, lots and lots of
solos. Check it out!
