...according to our Phil on 18 June 2009.

I can't believe how many Dinosaur Jr and Sonic Youth records we're selling at the moment. It's well 1988 again!! Could be something to do with the fact there's so much shit about that folks get all excited about things they feel comfortable with. I did slam on the new Dinosaur Jr album (Farm) earlier today and really enjoyed the majority of it. Not really liked much since You're Living All Over Me & Bug to be honest but I wanted to hear what the original line up would create. It's surprisingly good... Strangely comforting in a weird way. I'm not one for guitar solos and for some reason J Mascis's elongated solos really don't bother me that much on this record. Maybe I'm having a tolerant week? I think it's partially to do with the production as it's a wee bit fuzzier than the recent glossy productions and it does hark back to those good old slacker fuzzy days of lazy sounding rock. By the end of the album I was a bit bored of it but for the 1st 20-30 minutes I felt pretty exhilarated by parts and there's few guitars records that do that to me these days. The Lou Barlow tune about half way through made both Brian's and my ears prick up. The vinyl is well nice as well as it's a double with a bonus 7" and a fancy download thing 'n all! I'm pleased they're still going anyway and new folks are getting into 'em again. Like I said earlier, it's all strangely comforting.

Love this record? Hate it? Tell us.

What their label says...

· If ‘Beyond’ was Dinosaur Jr's return to form, ‘Farm’ is proof that this
band continues to deliver rock worth cranking up to 11.
· At times wholly 70's guitar-epic, at other times perfect for sitting by a
babbling brook with Joni and Neil, ‘Farm’ encompasses Dinosaur Jr's
signature palette – soaring and distorted guitar, unshakable hooks,
honey-rich melodies, with songs that get into your head and, bouncing
around happily, stay there.
· The worry about the reunion of the original Dinosaur Jr. line-up, more than
20 years after their formation and legendary dissolution, was that these guys
were just flogging the back catalogue as a marketing gimmick. With the
release of ‘Beyond’, in 2007, the band gave a hearty Marshall-driven
"F**K YOU!" answer to those inquiring ears.
· ‘Farm’ was recorded in J.Mascis' Bisquiteen studio in Amherst,
Massachusetts, and was produced by Mascis.
· The video for ‘Over It’, shot in Atlanta, sees the band performing
crazy BMX and skateboard tricks.
· The band will be appearing at various festivals in the UK and Europe
over the summer and a headline tour is being booked for later in the year.
· Available on CD and - exclusively to independent retailers - on
limited double vinyl, with free bonus 7” and free CD of the album
(500 copies only).
