Lou Barlow‘s new solo album ‘Reason to Live‘ is out May 28 via Joyful Noise

“Garden“ is the first-ever Lou Barlow-penned Dinosaur Jr album single and is from the upcoming ‘Sweep it Into Space‘

The ‘Lou Barlow and Family St. Patrick's Day Special‘ also features covers of Stiff Little Fingers, Thin Lizzy, U2 and Snow Patrol.

‘Sweep it Into Space‘ is Dinosaur Jr‘s 12th album and will be out in April.

The festive cover was part of Joyful Noise's virtual holiday special, which also featured Deerhoof, Dale Crover, Rob Crow, C.J. Boyd, No Joy, Serengeti, Thor Harris, Sound of Ceres, The Ophelias, WHY?, and more.

Unlike their socially-distanced shows across New England this September in Connecticut and New Hampshire, ”Live & Alone From Look Park” will find Dinosaur Jr. playing to no in-person audience

”Warning, there's one swear word!”, Lou says.

“We finished an album somehow during COVID times,” J Mascis told the crowd at Dinosaur Jr's second socially-distanced drive-in show of the weekend. “I guess it won’t come out for a little while."

This will be the first North American vinyl release for Emoh which originally came out in 2005.
