Dinosaur Jr have released a new track, “Several Got Away”, which you can hear below.
This is the first new music released from their upcoming album There Near, which is released onAugust 28 via Jagjaguwar.
There Nearmarks the sixth studio album Dinosaur Jr. have recorded in the 20 years since their reunion.
Recorded at Amherst’sBisquiteen Studio,There Nearwas recorded almost entirely by Dino’s core trio — Murph on drums, Lou Barlowon bass/vocals andJ Mascison guitar/vocals — with additional piano and organ work byKen Mauri.
Gear heads note, Mascis is playing through a recently acquired 70’s Mesa Boogie MK 1 amp.“I bought the same amp that Chris Dixon had when we made our first album,”J says.“Chris recorded us at his house with his amp. It has a real interesting sound I haven’t gotten for a while. And it’s something I was trying to get back to on this album. The Stones started using Mesa Boogies in the ’70s after they heard Santana playing through them. Then The Clash copied The Stones, etc. As the years went on into the MK 2 and so on, the Boogie got more metal sounding. But the MK 1 has a souped-up Fender sound. You always hear how Rick Rubin always makes bands he’s producing sit down and listen to their first album and say let’s get back to that sound. So I just gave myself his advice.”
