Farm (15Th Anniversary Edition)

Description

When Dinosaur Jr. reformed, more than 20 years after their initial formation and legendary dissolution, the fear was that they would merely exploit their catalog, replaying their old repertoire as a marketing gimmick. But the release of 2007's Beyond extinguished those fears and re-established the sound laid down by the band’s first three albums — Dinosaur, You’re Living All Over Me, and Bug. Beyond continued the band’s march to rock greatness by making old ears smile and new ones bleed. Then came Farm, the 9th album from the original lineup and their first on Jagjaguwar: J Mascis, Lou Barlow, and Murph. If Beyond was Dinosaur Jr.’s return to form, Farm is proof that Dinosaur Jr. could (and still can!) deliver timeless, exhilarating rock music. Farm encompasses Dinosaur Jr.’s characteristic palette: soaring, distorted guitar; unshakeable hooks; luscious melodies. This deluxe edition of Farm contains four songs never before pressed to vinyl: "Houses," "Whenever You’re Ready" (Zombies cover), "Creepies" (instrumental), and "Show." Pressed on double green vinyl, the first color pressing since 2009.
