J Mascis, Lou Barlow, and Murph are returning this year with their first new Dinosaur Jr. album since 2012's I Bet on Sky. Give a Glimpse of What Yer Not is out August 5 via Jagjaguwar. Recorded in Amherst this winter, J Mascis' songs pack a pop architecture that hints at Bowie and Blue Oyster Cult. And Lou Barlow's cuts carry the same vibe as Roger MGuinn's early great sides with the Byrds. But don't let all the references made just now lead you to believe this is anything other than pure, unadulterated Dino Jr. heavy-as-hell bliss-core. Icons on par with Black Flag and Minutemen, Dino display just how they've influenced a whole new generations of musicians - from Mac DeMarco to Steve Gunn, from Sharon Van Etten to Kurt Vile.
