Like Neil Young, a fine wine or a classic car, the Dinosaur Jr frontman returns with another (his fifth) solo LP, with melodies of ever maturing, timeless quality, rich in guitar, piano and that distinctive, emotive, croaky voice. It’s one of his best, and first since the Dinosaur Jr. release, 2021’s Sweep It Into Space. Joined by guests including fellow Massachusetts musician Ken Mauri of the B52s on piano, this is classic alt-rock material, particularly opener Can’t Believe We’re Here, with rolls along an effortless passion, Right Behind You, Set Me Down, and beautiful, more fragile I Can’t Find You. With twangs of country pedal steel too, overall it’s a perfect balance of tenderness and raucousness, revving up his ever great songwriting. Out on Sub Pop Records
