“Give a Glimpse of What Yer Not” buzzes with a primitive jaggedness we haven’t heard from Dinosaur Jr. since 1987’s “You’re Living All Over Me”.
The songcraft has improved over the decades, but suddenly this band sounds younger than they did 15 years ago. None of that mid-life world weariness one might expect from a band whose been though as much as Dino Jr. This is approaches exuberance. Imagine if Paul Thomas Anderson released “Boogie Nights” as his 6th film.
On its own, “Give a Glimpse” rips like mad. Given the context of this band, it’s a goddam rock n roll triumph. It gives one hope about forward march of time, and how it’s absolutely possible to move in the opposite direction sometimes.
Recorded in Amherst this winter, J Mascis’ songs pack a pop architecture that hints at Bowie and Blue Oyster Cult. And Lou Barlow’s cuts carry the same vibe as Roger MGuinn’s early great sides with the Byrds. But don’t let all the references made just now lead you to believe this is anything other than pure, unadulterated Dino Jr. heavy-as-hell bliss-core.
Icons on par with Black Flag and Minutemen, Dino display just how they’ve influenced a whole new generations of musicians - from Mac DeMarco to Steve Gunn, from Sharon Van Etten to Kurt Vile.
Pre-order the album here: Direct, iTunes & Amazon.
Tracklist:
1. Goin Down
2. Tiny
3. Be A Part
4. I Told Everyone
5. Love Is…
6. Good To Know
7. I Walk For Miles
8. Lost All Day
9. Knocked Around
10. Mirror
11. Left/Right
Finally, J, Lou, and Murph are doing what they do best: hitting the road, cranking the amps to 12, making their strings and drumheads glow red like embers, and rupturing eardrums. Don’t miss seeing one of the greatest live bands of all time.
