Dinosaur Jr.
"I Don't Wanna Go There"
4/13/2009 By Cam Lindsay

As we previously mentioned, J, Murph and Lou are returning for yet another new Dinosaur Jr. album, this time released by Jagjaguwar. Farm is set to drop with this pretty sweet and very baked artwork on June 23, but as we've come to expect from the boys, they've prepped a single to tide over those with the munchies. Along with a wonky re-recording of You're Living All Over Me's "Tarpit," "I Don't Wanna Go There" comes as a tour-only seven-inch that Jag is describing as "a meat-and-potatoes main dish, mixing unapologetic lead guitar with straight-ahead delivery, à la James Gang or Humble Pie."

What I hear is more of that classic '80s Dinosaur mud, where J's guitar leads the way with a tone in that perfect middle ground between fuzz and sludge, and then at 2:13 unsheathes a virulent solo that hangs out for a bit.

Leif Vollebekk - Inland
Although he's a Montreal native, this debut album sparkles with many of the magical elements associated with Vollebekk's Scandinavian heritage. At times recalling Nick Drake's Bryter Layter in its fragility and subtle deployment of strings, but also the playfulness of fellow Montrealer Patric... Full Review
Lindstrøm Explores
Don't count on Norway's premier disco revivalist Hans-Peter Lindstrøm to ever turn in the same record twice. "All the artists and bands that I really like do surprising stuff every time, and I guess I just copy their way," he says from his Oslo home studio. "But it's also about not getting bored myself."...
