DINOSAUR JR
farm

Release Date: 22/06/2009

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 'fuck you!' answer to those inquiring ears. 'farm' was recorded in j.mascis' bisquiteen studio in amherst, massachusetts, and was produced by mascis.
