Today,\u00a0Dinosaur Jr.\u00a0<\/strong>announce a\u00a015th anniversary expanded reissue<\/strong>\u00a0of their seminal second post-reunion album,\u00a0Farm<\/strong><\/em>, originally released in 2009 to widespread critical acclaim. The limited lime-coloured vinyl reissue is released\u00a0Aug 16th<\/strong>\u00a0via the band’s long-term home of\u00a0Jagjaguwar<\/strong>. Pre-orders are open now, here:\u00a0https:\/\/dinosaur-jr.lnk.to\/Farm-15th-Anniversary<\/a>

This expanded deluxe edition of\u00a0Farm<\/em>\u00a0features four songs never pressed to vinyl and never given worldwide release: ‘Houses<\/strong>‘, ‘Whenever You\u2019re Ready<\/strong>‘\u00a0(The Zombies<\/strong>\u00a0Cover), ‘Creepies<\/strong>‘\u00a0(Instrumental), and ‘Show<\/strong>‘. ‘Whenever You\u2019re Ready’, a cover of classic pop-rockers The Zombies, is impossibly good for a hidden gem;\u00a0Murph<\/strong>\u00a0stomps in with a sledgehammer to the kit,\u00a0J<\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0Lou<\/strong>\u00a0layer low-end and fuzz like two halves of one brain, and right when things feel biggest, airy and colossal, there\u2019s J with a lightning bolt of a guitar solo. Pure electricity and melody like only he can make.

When Dinosaur Jr. reunited, more than 20 years after their formation and legendary dissolution, the worry was that these guys were just flogging the back catalog, taking the old show on the road as a marketing gimmick. But the 2007 release of\u00a0Beyond<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0gave a hearty Marshall-driven “F**K YOU!” answer to those inquiring ears. Restoring the sound established by the unassailable hat-trick gambit of their first three albums –\u00a0Dinosaur<\/em><\/strong>,\u00a0You’re Living All Over Me<\/em><\/strong>, and\u00a0Bug<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0–\u00a0Beyond<\/em>\u00a0continued the band’s march into rock greatness by making old ears smile and new ears bleed afresh.
\u00a0
And then came\u00a0Farm<\/em>, the 9th full length record by the original line-up: J Mascis, Lou Barlow, and Murph. If\u00a0Beyond<\/em>\u00a0was Dinosaur Jr.’s return to form,\u00a0Farm<\/em>\u00a0is proof that Dinosaur Jr. could (and still do, to this day!) deliver timeless, exhilarating rock music.\u00a0 \u00a0Farm<\/em>\u00a0encompasses Dinosaur Jr.’s signature palette: soaring and distorted guitar, unshakable hooks, honey-rich melodies.\u00a0 At times wholly 70’s guitar-epic, at times perfect for sitting by a babbling brook with Joni and Neil, these songs get into your head and stay there, bouncing happily around. The ear-catching ‘Plans<\/strong>‘\u00a0is nearly seven minutes of classic whipped-topping rock dessert, while ‘I Don’t Wanna Go There<\/strong>‘\u00a0is a meat-and-potatoes main dish, mixing unapologetic lead guitar with straight-ahead delivery a la James Gang or Humble Pie.

Recorded in J Mascis’ Bisquiteen studio in Amherst, Massachusetts,\u00a0Farm<\/em>\u00a0was produced by Mascis himself, and delivers the singular, unique energy of one of America’s greatest living rock bands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
