The fuzzed-out side-hustle of Heavy Blanket first arrived in 2012, seven years deep into Dinosaur’s infinitely improbable reunion (the story goes Mascis and two long-lost schoolmates, with the Viz-esque names ‘Pete Cougar’ and ‘Johnny Pancake’, jammed for the first time since 1984 and decided to cut a record). As Dinosaur’s comeback LPs Beyond and Farm helped restore some dignity to the Kings of Leonisation of American rock, Heavy Blanket flew under the radar, an amp-blown curio for Mascis acolytes above all else. While the jury may still be out as to whether Mr Cougar and Mr Pancake exist, eleven years on, Moon Is is another throwback meld of proto-metal and lo-fi rock instrumentalism that puts cutting loose (yes, mainly guitar solos) front and centre.
