Dinosaur Jr. have released a video for their new single Take It Back, a taste of their forthcoming album Sweep It Into Space. The record marks the band’s first new collection of music since 2016’s Give a Glimpse of What Yer Not.
“[I] really wanted to use the creature on the front of the album sleeve for Sweep It Into Space as an inspiration and springboard for its own little adventure, exploring some simple notions of creation, dependence, coming of age and searching for another like yourself,” says video director Callum Scott-Dyson. “I wanted to mix those themes with my style of stop motion animation, everything being very DIY and handmade, using any materials I could get my hands on to bring the idea to life and give it a surreal and otherworldly feel. I’ve always been a really big fan of Dinosaur Jr, so I was working extra hard to do something that could add to such an awesome track and sit alongside it.”
Sweep It Into Space is due for release on 23rd April 2021 via Jagjaguwar, available to pre-order HERE.
