Sweep It Into Space by Dinosaur Jr.

Sweep It Into Space, the twelfth studio album from Dinosaur Jr., arrived through Jagjaguwar on April 23, 2021, from the band that formed in Amherst back in 1984. J Mascis, Lou Barlow and Murph had patched things up in 2005 after the creative tension and firings of the early days, and the reunited trio kept on cranking out records, which says something about how much these three still need each other's noise.

Mascis is Mascis: that lazy drawl of a voice floating over guitar solos that squeal and bloom in a cloud of feedback and distortion, a sound that harks back to classic rock without ever sounding like a museum piece. "I Ran Away" led the way as the first single in February, followed by "Garden" and "Take It Back", and all three make the case that the band's old formula never needed fixing.
