Modern Baseball - Mobo Presents: The Perfect Cast LP - 30TH Anniversary - VINYL LP

Finally! The sixth studio album Dinosaur Jr. Have recorded in the 20 years since their triumphal rebirth. Created in short, intense bursts over the course of a year at Amherst's Bisquiteen Studio, There Near was recorded almost entirely by Dino's core trio - king of the thunder tubs, Murph, human tornado Lou Barlow on bass/vocals and the inimitable J Mascis on guitar/vocals - with a bit of piano and organ work by local master musician, Ken Mauri. And the album roars from start to finish. Trying to define the essence of Dino's sound is never easy. It's an instantly recognizable blend of loose vocals, sharp guitars and an animalistic rhythm section, but these parts combine into a whole far more magical and exciting than it's components. J's guitar tone throughout There Near is even more animalistic than usual, perhaps owing partly to the fact he's playing through a recently acquired 70's Mesa Boogie MK 1 amp. InchI bought the same amp that Chris Dixon had when we made our first album,Inch J says. InchChris recorded us at his house with his amp. It has a real interesting sound I haven't gotten for a while. And it's something I was trying to get back to on this album.InchAsked about the philosophical opacity of his lyrical approach, J says.

And a lot of it will be influenced by whatever esoteric mumbo jumbo I'm reading at the time. I try not to think too hard about any of it. Someone suggested this album sounds more upbeat, but I guess that's to do with my delivery, because lyrics like 'No Friends' might make you think otherwise. But I usually write in the third person. It's all just make believe.InchWhile it's true There Near does present a slightly softer lyrical edge on some of J's songs, even a relatively gorgeous bal

Alone Together is an album about praxis. Putting belief into action. The opening line, Inchradical love compels me to fight,Inch reflects lived experience, standing up for one another and for what you believe in, regardless of outcome. Alongside producers Klas Ahlund and Kenneth Blume, Show Me the Body have recontextualized their core language into something with more clarity than ever before. This is not about atmosphere but direct communication, a call to galvanize ourselves and the people around us.
