Today legendary rockers Dinosaur Jr. have announced the release of I Bet On Sky, their 10th album as a band and third since reuniting in 2005. I Bet On Sky follows up their hugely popular 2009 album Farm, and we can only hope that this release finds them in the same rich vain of form as that one did.
Friend of the band Bryan Conley has written about the album in the press release saying that “it’s clear that the album is a true and worthy addition to the Dinosaur Jr. discography. It hews close enough to rock formalism to please the squares. Yet it is brilliantly imprinted with the trio’s magical equation, which is a gift to the rest of us. For a combo that began as anomalous fusion of hardcore punk and pop influences, Dinosaur Jr. have proven themselves to be unlikely masters of the long game. Their new album is a triumph of both form and function.”
I Bet On Sky will be released on Jagjaguwar on September 18th. Check below for the cover art, track list, and tour dates in support of the album.
