Dinosaur Jr. by Cara Totman
It’s the first from Dinosaur Jr. since 2016’s Give A Glimpse of What Yer Not.
Dinosaur Jr. have set their new album Sweep It Into Space for release on April 23rd.
Sessions for the LP began at Amherst’s Biquiteen in the late autumn of 2019, initially with the co-production talents of Kurt Vile, who also played lead 12-string on I Ran Away which is streaming below.
When the spell with Vile was interrupted, J Mascis focused on continuity by, ‘just mimicking a few things he’d done’.
“I was listening to a lot of Thin Lizzy, so I was trying to get some of that duelling twin lead sound,” Mascis continues.
“But the recording session was pretty well finished by the time things really hit the fan. When the lockdown happened in March, that meant I was on my own. But it was cool.”
