Dinosaur Jr. have announced their 12th studio album and shared new single ‘I Ran Away’ featuring Kurt Vile who also co-produced the forthcoming album.
The new track marks the bands first new music in almost five years, and is everything we’ve come to expect from the rock heavyweights.
When recording with Vile was disrupted by the pandemic, lead singer J Mascis states he “ended up just mimicking a few things [Vile had] done”.
He adds: “I was listening to a lot of Thin Lizzy, so I was trying to get some of that dueling twin lead sound. But the recording session was pretty well finished by the time things really hit the fan. When the lockdown happened in March, that meant I was on my own. But it was cool.”
