Description
2026, 12″ LP, Jagjaguwar. Clear pink vinyl.
Despite being one of the biggest names in alternative rock, Dinosaur JR follow DIY principals. Helping do everything on their terms is the benefit of frontman J Mascis owning and running his own studio in Amhurst, Massachusetts. It’s where the core trio – Murph (drums), Lou Barlow (bass/vocals) and J Mascis (guitar/vocals) – almost entirely self-recorded this astonishing record and their first in five years. The opening cut ‘Several Got Away’ sets the tone and it’s a treat to hear Masics solo through his recently acquired 70’s Mesa Boogie MK 1 amp and his advice to himself of referencing the Dinosaur Jr’s debut album for the production feels like a move that’s paid off.
