Original Dinosaur Jr Line-Up Recording New Album

Dinosaur Jr’s original line-up are taking their reformation to the next level – they’re recording their first album together for 18 years.

J Mascis, Lou Barlow and Emmett Murphy toured together last year, and are now in the middle of putting down an album of original material for release next year.

Barlow says, “We spent the better part of two years touring together, so we might as well make a record together.

"The reunion thing went well, considering we held up and enjoyed it. The new album is just a way of extending it. The band pretty much does one thing at a time. I thought we'd be done after the tour, but then the album magically popped up.

"We probably won't do anything else, but then again, we'll see."
