I Bet On Sky Scheduled for September
Dinosaur Jr. have announced the release date and track listing for their upcoming album I Bet On Sky along with dates for a fall tour. The album will be available in the U.S. on September 18th and is the band's third since reuniting the original line-up.
I absolutely loved both comeback albums: 2007's Beyond and 2009's Farm. Dinosaur Jr. have always fused elements of modern/alt/indie rock with elements of classic rock in a way that I don't think many bands do. It's hard, fuzzed out indie rock with a good pop sensibility and lots of guitar solos. I hadn't realized until I started trying to learn songs on the guitar how rare the guitar solo is in much of the music that I listen to these days. Dinosaur Jr., though, have kept it alive all these years.
Sadly, as of right now, the closest the tour comes to me is Philadelphia, PA. I may have to engineer a visit to the in-laws in Houston or a business trip to Dallas come October if nothing changes.
Here's one of my favorite videos from 2009.
