SUMMARY:Dinosaur Jr.
DESCRIPTION:DINOSAUR JR.. Sweep It Into Space Here is Sweep It Into Space
 \, the fifth new studio album cut by Dinosaur Jr.. during the 13th year 
 of their rebirth. Originally scheduled for issue in mid 2020\, this reco
 rd's temporal trajectory was thwarted by the coming of the Plague. But i
 t would take more than a mere Plague to tamp down the exquisite fury of 
 this trio when they are fully dialed-in. And Sweep It Into Space is a ma
 sterpiece of zoned dialing. In the decades since the release of Dinosaur
  Jr.'s original triptych of foundational albums\, it has become clear th
 at their sound -- once hailed as a sort of almost -tamed noise -- is/was
 /always-has-been fully functioning pop music of a sort. The subsequent g
 enerations of bands who grew up breathing Dino's fumes managed to tinker
  around with the edges of their original post-hardcore song-forms enough
  for listeners to realize there had always been melodies at the center o
 f everything they did. What Dinosaur Jr.. produces is nothing but a beau
 tiful new version of the rock continuum -- riff\, power\, beat and longi
 ng\, created with an eye on the infinite future. Recorded\, as usual\, a
 t Amherst's Biquiteen\, the sessions for Sweep It Into Space began in th
 e late Autumn of 2019\, following a West Coast/South East tour. The only
  extra musician used this time with Kurt Vile. J Mascis says\, “Kurt pla
 yed little lead things\, like 12 string one at the beginning of 'I Ran A
 way.' Then I ended up just mimicking a few things he'd done. I was liste
 ning to a lot of Thin Lizzy\, so I was trying to get some of that duelin
 g twin lead sound. (laughs)” “But the recording session was pretty well 
 finished by the time things really hit the fan. So I just ended up doing
  more things by myself. Like the mini digital mellotron on 'Take It Back
 .' Originally I'd thought I'd have Ken Mauri (who has done keyboard work
  for Dino in the past) come in and play piano. But when the Lock Down ha
 ppened in March\, that meant I was on my own. But it was cool.” Indeed\,
  Sweep It Into Space is a very cool album. As is typical\, Lou Barlow wr
 ites and sings two of the album's dozen tunes and Murph's pure-Flinstoni
 an drumming drives the record like a go cart from Hell. Lou's songs here
  are as elegant as always. “Garden” is a mid-paced ballad with genteel g
 uitar filigree giving it a '60 Brit feel in spots. And the album's close
 r\, “You Wonder\,” is a strangely excellent answer to the question -- “H
 ow would Blue Oyster Cult handle a country tune?” J's tracks flow and fl
 ower in the different directions he often follows. Some are guitar howle
 rs\, like “I Met the Stones\,” with a string sound midway between Hendri
 x and Asheton. Some are power ballads\, like “And Me\,” its lyrics atomi
 zed in a manner invented by Mascis\, then famously borrowed by Kurt Coba
 in. And there are anomalies\, like “Take It Back\,” which starts with a 
 blue-beat rhythm putting one in mind of Keith Richards' Jamaican explora
 tions (at least for a little bit.) But there are very few moments where 
 you wouldn't know you were hearing Dinosaur Jr.. in blindfolded needle d
 rop. They have a signature sound as sure as the Stooges or Sonic Youth o
 r Discharge ever did. They continue to expand their personal universe wi
 th Sweep It Into Space\, without ever losing their central core. So if y
 ou ever do find yourself swept into space (hey\, who knows?)\, I just ho
 pe these tunes are on your playlist. --Byron Coley\n\nTickets: https://w
