Split Single – “(Nothing You Can Do To) End This Love”
When Jason Narducy isn’t busy playing with Superchunk or in Bob Mould’s band, he has his own project called Split Single. He last released an album,
Metal Frames
, under the moniker back in late 2016. Now he’s gearing up to return with a new one. It’s called Amplificado, and it finds Narducy backed up by Jon Wurster on drums and Mike Mills on bass. It’s out in late June.

Few things are as dependable as a
Dinosaur Jr. record. The band’s post-punk/pre-grunge attack has barely evolved in over thirty years, but that’s been to the trio’s advantage, developing into a signature sound. (An influential one, too – how many bands do you remember trying to imitate Dino Jr. in the late eighties and early nineties?) Whether natural or self-imposed, the band’s limitations – leader
J Mascis’ seemingly lackadaisical vocals and derivative soloing, drummer
Murph’s perfectly functional but unimaginative drumming, bassist
Lou Barlow’s songs sometimes sounding like they’re from a different band entirely – end up being advantages, giving the group a sonic stamp unmistakable for anyone else. It also means that whole-scale overhauls are unlikely, if not impossible, which means the band has spent its career refining its approach, rather than changing it.
