A return to vintage Dinosaur Jr. fury.
Alternative rock stalwarts Dinosaur Jr. have emerged from their Massachusetts hideaway with There Near, their thirteenth studio album arriving August 28th via Jagjaguwar.
The legendary trio, J Mascis, Murph, and Lou Barlow, spent a year crafting these eleven tracks at Bisquiteen Studio, with Mascis channelling their 1985 debut by playing through the very same vintage Mesa Boogie MK 1 amplifier.
Lead single ‘Several Got Away’ delivers exactly what devotees crave: fuzzy, sun-drenched guitar work that erupts into a squealing, tornado-like solo before circling back to its infectious chorus.
The accompanying music video, directed by Guy Kozak, embraces the track’s surreal whimsy.
Following their summer co-headline run with Band of Horses, the band will launch a comprehensive fall itinerary beginning October 9th in Las Vegas, sweeping through major markets including Los Angeles, San Francisco, Seattle, Denver, Austin, and concluding November 7th in New Orleans.
Tickets are available now through Ticketmaster and the band’s official website.
