Local alt-rock band Dinosaur Jr. is back with a new album, “Sweep It Into Space” sounding better than ever.
When the classic lineup of J Mascis on vocals/guitar, Lou Barlow on bass/vocals and Murph on drums reunited in 2005, fans were thrilled but not all that hopeful. Tensions between Mascis and Barlow, which led to Barlow being ousted from the band in 1989 (Murph split in 1993), have been well documented, so it was easy to understand why many thought this reunion would be short- =lived. But Dinosaur Jr. proved the naysayers wrong, the group has now been together longer than their first time around and they have created some of the best music of their career. “Sweep It Into Space,” is a testament to the band’s undeniable chemistry and it’s a work that rivals some of their output from the late 1980s.
