Reviews
"It is largely acoustic, punctuated by the occasional fit of electric guitar and, when the songs call for it, drums. This album expands upon Mascis’ acoustic side to great effect.", "It’s a quiet, gorgeous collection of fragile indie folk tunes made all the more powerful by his wounded-old-man croak, his dexterous picking, and his overall sense of restraint.", "On his second solo record, TIED TO A STAR, Mascis molds yet another subdued prism through which to glimpse his rare genius as a guitarist and songwriter.", 3.5 stars out of 5 -- "The songs show that Mascis is now as skilled at quiet as he is with loud."
