{"product_id":"dinosaur_jr-there_near","title":"There Near","description":"\u003cp\u003eDinosaur Jr.’s There Near is their thirteenth studio album, released August 28, 2026, through Jagjaguwar. Its 11 tracks run approximately 43 minutes, reuniting J Mascis, Lou Barlow, and Murph for their first album since 2021’s Sweep It Into Space. Recorded at Mascis’s Bisquiteen Studio in Amherst, Massachusetts, it revisits the band’s rougher guitar sound, partly through the vintage Mesa Boogie amplifier used on their 1985 debut. Its defining quality is contrast: weary, vulnerable singing sits inside exuberant melodies and abrasive distortion, while Barlow’s restless bass and Murph’s springy drumming keep the dense arrangements moving. Rather than radically changing direction, the trio gives its familiar combination of noise and melancholy a looser, more immediate character, with expressive solos serving the songs rather than overwhelming them. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e“Several Got Away” opens with a fizzing chorus and a biting guitar attack, while “No Friends” turns isolation into one of the album’s most affecting moments, pairing Mascis’s dejected delivery with an ascending, almost sobbing lead. “Everything at Once” and “Read the Room” balance buoyant melodies with descending basslines and uneasy emotions, and “Put It Down” lets a comparatively gentle arrangement build toward an eruption of distortion. “Take Me With You” and “Clam Along” emphasize the record’s scrappier edge, while Barlow’s two contributions introduce a more outward-looking frustration: “Blowin’ Up” attacks destructive political posturing, and “No One’s Ready” questions the purpose of conflict over jangling chords and a shambling rhythm. Those differences in perspective give the album breadth without disrupting its cohesion, making the trio’s enduring chemistry more important than any attempt at reinvention.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Record Store","offers":[{"title":"Vinyl \/ Album - Pink Clear Vinyl","offer_id":67925194178874,"sku":"41397","price":35.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Vinyl \/ Album - Black Vinyl","offer_id":67989261877562,"sku":"41396","price":33.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false},{"title":"CD \/ Album","offer_id":67989261910330,"sku":"41395","price":19.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/2041\/0682\/files\/Screenshot_2026-11-13_at_2.46.19_PM.jpg?v=1794646842","url":"https:\/\/recordstore.ca\/products\/dinosaur_jr-there_near","provider":"Record Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
