Heavy Blanket gives me a sense that I know what it would sound like to be a pizza delivery guy carrying a hot box of takeout to the Dinosaur Jr. practice space. Long J. Mascis guitar jams, rumbling, growling bass and a sense of going nowhere fast. The solo on “Say It To You” reminds me of the soaring, squealing notes on “Too Much Fun” by Starflyer 59. Everything in the Heavy Blanket aesthetic has the feel of an improvisation that seems like it doesn’t want to ever end.
