Give a Glimpse of What Yer Not, Dinosaur Jr.'s eleventh studio album, came out on Jagjaguwar on August 5, 2016, another chapter for the original trio of J Mascis, Lou Barlow and Murph since they got back together in 2005. Mascis produced it himself, and the formula barely budges: that sleepy drawl up front, and a guitar sound drenched in feedback and distortion, peeling off solos with classic-rock abandon.
"Tiny" was the first single, and it's a perfect little blast of fuzz and melancholy; "Goin Down" followed. The title comes from a line in "Knocked Around". The cover is by German painter Daniel Richter, a fan of the band, based on his 2012 piece "A Flower in Flames": psychedelic squiggles spilling over a mountain range, with an Asian fighter brandishing a guitar in the foreground. It's a fitting image for a band still swinging after all these years.
