Written and sung by bassist Lou Barlow, “Blowin’ Up” takes a more restrained musical approach than the band’s previous single, “Several Got Away.” Watch “Blowin Up”Near marks the band’s sixth studio album since the celebrated reunion of the original lineup: J Mascis, Lou Barlow and Murph. Recorded primarily at Bisquiteen Studio in Amherst, Massachusetts, the album captures the trio’s chemistry while leaning into a sound inspired by Dinosaur Jr.’s earliest recordings.
