DINOSAUR JR Released Their 4th LP ‘GREEN MIND’ 35 Years Ago Today

Significant longplayers from the past

19 February 2026

American slacker rockers DINOSAUR JR. led by commander J Mascis
have released their 4th LP GREEN MIND, today 35 years ago, on
19 February 1991.

It was the band’s first release after their bassist Lou Barlow left to form
his own bands, Sebadoh and The Folk Implosion, as well as the first on
a major label.

The record is close to being a J Mascis solo album. He played most
of the instruments, with founding drummer Murph only featuring
on three tracks.

It peaked at #168 on the Billboard 200. Single The Wagon went to €22.

Rolling Stone: “Green Mind “sounds every bit as energetic and full-blooded
despite much of the record being performed solely by Mascis, whose guitar
playing, will bowl over even confirmed louder-is-better zealots.”

An homage documentary to grungy slacker rockers DINOSAUR JR. featuring original
members J Mascis (guitar, vocals, primary songwriter), Lou Barlow (bass, vocals), and Murph (drums) goes on screen in the USA.

J Macsic in the docu: “I don’t know where people get this idea that it’s supposed to be fun or something to play music,” J Mascis says in his signature hyper-relaxed drawl, near the beginning of the new documentary Freakscene: The Story Of Dinosaur Jr. “That seems to hinder a lot of people: ‘Well it’s not fun, why should I do it?’ That never occurred to us that it’s supposed to be fun. It’s just, music was really important and we wanted to do it.”

Freakscene: The Story Of Dinosaur Jr. already played in European cinemas,
but will be screened for the first time in American theatres. All dates below.
