Alt-rock supergroup Dinosaur Jr. are back and better than ever. They have just released a new song, “Tiny,” off their new album, Give a Glimpse of What Yer Not, available August 5.
Stereogum describes the track as a “propulsive sludge-rocker with some serious power-pop hooks in there with all the fuzz-pedal roar.” This is an accurate description, and it is safe to say that the track holds its own over the group’s past work. The thunderous guitar solos, soft vocals and crazy hooks all come together to create a guaranteed alt-rock hit. Dinosaur Jr. have been around for over 30 years, but they seem to get better with each and every album.
Starting in July, the group will embark on a tour with Janes Addiction to support the release of the new album.The tour will start abroad, and eventually circle back to the states, where Dinosaur Jr. will be thoroughly touring throughout September and October.
