Dinosaur Jr. The 2005 reunion of the original Dinosaur Jr. is one of the more unlikely happy endings in modern rock, an out-of-nowhere reunification of ’80s indie-rock favorites guitarist J Mascis, bassist Lou Barlow (also of Sebadoh) and drummer Murph after nearly 20 years apart. And while it’s thrilling to hear the trio fire up old faves from albums like 1987’s You’re Living All Over Me, they’ve been surprisingly productive creating new music since they got back together. 2021’s Sweep It Into Space is their fifth album since getting back together, and for the most part the sound remains the same as the old days: Mascis delivered laconic vocals over often thrilling, expansive guitar solos while Barlow contributes energetic tunes here and there. Their live shows have always been pretty great, and they recently put out a tasty live collection, Emptiness at the Sinclair, you can stream to get ready for their Spokane show.
