The album is their first since they reunited last year, and the first to feature previously estranged bassist Lou Barlow since he left the band in 1989. The band released their previous full length, Hand It Over in 1997. The band is aiming for a Spring 2007 release date on an as yet unnamed label. The band was originall signed to SST, before joining Sire in the 90s. Reissues of their albums have been produced by both Rhino and Merge. Tracks earmarked to appear on the disc include "By the Fire," "This Is All I Came To Do," "Back to Your Heart" and "Stop." Mascis is in the process of finalizing guitar and vocal parts at present. Also in the works is a Dinosaur Jr. live DVD, due out May 8, 2007. The disc was directed by Mascis' brother-in-law, Phillip Virus and will include live performance footage from the first half of the reunion tour, including shows in New York and Boston.
