Dinosaur Jr. Song Premiere

"Watch the Corners"

Rolling Stone has an exclusive premiere of what will be Track 2 on Dinosaur Jr.'s upcoming I Bet on Sky (due 9/18 on Jagjaguwar).

I love everything this band has ever done, but I think they are at their best when in pop, or even pop-ballad mode (see:  "Freak Scene," "Pond Song," "I Live for that Look," "Get Me," "See You").  "Watch the Corners," I think, falls into that category combining J's trademark vocal style, guitar shredding, and even an acoustic break with some chunky chords, fuzz, and good rhythm work from Lou and Murph.

Dinosaur Jr. have just about perfected the formula they came up with in the 80's.  Now if they would just add a NY/NJ metro show to the fall tour...

Update (7/4/12):  Here's the stream:
