#Dinosaur Jr. Announce New Album, Share New Song “I Ran Away”: Listen

Dinosaur Jr. are returning with a new album: Sweep It Into Space is out April 23 via Jagjaguwar. Kurt Vile co-produced the album and played 12-string guitar on the new song “I Ran Away,” which is out today. Listen to it below.

Sweep It Into Space follows Dinosaur Jr.’s 2016 record Give a Glimpse of What Yer Not. They began recording the new one in autumn 2019 at Biquiteen in Amherst, Massachusetts. After the pandemic interrupted recording with Vile, Mascis “ended up just mimicking a few things [Vile]’d done,” as he said in a press release. “But the recording session was pretty well finished by the time things really hit the fan.”
