It was only a matter of time before Kurt Vile and J Mascis got around to working on an album together. Vile was a Dinosaur Jr. fan growing up in Lansdowne in the 1990s, and his loose, discursive style as a singer-guitarist owes a significant debt to the sound Mascis patented on the group’s 1987 album, You’re Living All Over Me.
Vile is credited as coproducer on the new Sweep It Into Space, the fifth album that Dinosaur Jr. has released since Mascis reconvened the original lineup of drummer Patrick Murphy and bassist Lou Barlow. Vile also plays 12-string guitar on “I Ran Away,” a bright, springy ditty that sounds for all the world like a Kurt Vile song.
