Quote:Dinosaur Jr announce new album details
‘Beyond’ features original line-up
Dinosaur Jr. have announced the details of their forthcoming album.‘Beyond’ will be released in the US on May 1, and features the band’s original line-up for the first time in 18 years.
The album contains 11 fresh tracks from the indie rock trio, recorded at guitarist J. Mascis’ studio in Amherst, Massachusetts, according to Spin.
Dinosaur Jr.’s original line-up dissolved after touring in support of their third studio album – 1988’s ‘Bug’. The trio reconvened in 2005 and have been touring the world since then.
The tracklisting is:
‘Almost Ready’
‘Crumble’
‘Pick Me Up’
‘Back to Your Heart’
‘This Is All I Came to Do’
‘Been There All the Time’
‘It’s Me’
‘We’re Not Alone’
‘I Got Lost’
‘Lightning Bulb’
‘What If I Knew…and a link to fatpossum.com
love that name…
this ones says the european release will probably be out Monday April 30th, no european label news though…
Wonder if there’ll be bonus tracks on the Japanese edition? A couple of the titles originally mooted for the album have disappeared, like "By the Fire" and at least one more. Sounds like bonus material to me….
Didn’t J end up scrapping a few of the original ones because they didn’t turn out like he wanted them to. Maybe thats what happened. I’ll be surprised if they get released.

I’ll be surprised if they get released.This was from an article published after J had already scrapped some songs and asked Lou to contribute, so it sounds like there were more-or-less finished versions of two songs that are now no longer part of the album:

Having reunited last year with its original lineup for the first time since 1989, Dinosaur Jr. is nearly finished with a new studio album, Billboard.com can reveal. Guitarist J. Mascis, bassist Lou Barlow and drummer Murph tracked the as-yet-untitled set at Mascis’ home studio in Amherst, Mass., and are eyeing a spring 2007 release on a label to be announced.Tracks earmarked to appear on the disc include "By the Fire," "This Is All I Came To Do," "Back to Your Heart" and "Stop." Mascis is in the process of finalizing guitar and vocal parts at present.

At any rate, Japanese cds always have bonus tracks on them to try and entice Japanese fans to shell out the money for them instead of buying cheaper import copies from abroad. Both Fog albums had extra tracks on them, so I’m keeping my fingers crossed……

Thats exciting but I am sure its going to be Back before you go, or Back To your heart, which will be clearer versions than the live ones but not something new.
great pic up on fatpossum…

can’t wait for some kind of preview, definitely believe there will be bonus tracks on the Japanese release, hopefully something brand new!

I’ll be surprised if they get released.Many many times bands just present "working titles" that were just made up on the spot in the practice space or studio, simply to have a song-name to label a tape or so… for example, many tracks on Pavement’s "Wowee Zowee" had radically different song titles on the demo that was given out to journalists for review and then, when the final album was out, several song titles had radically changed…
Quote BOB: "I’m glad that it’s on a label with some well hyped acts like The Fiery Furnances and The Black Keys. I wonder why they didn’t go with Merge, maybe they’re too strickly indie rock or they would get lost in the promotion for the new Arcade Fire."
Jason from Sebadoh also plays in the Fiery Furnaces, so it all makes sense to me !
