New Yo La Tengo MP3 and Upcoming Release
While many a band that started around the same time as, and even much after, have run their course, broken up, or just been drained of their creative juices, Yo La Tengo keeps trudging along, and still have a surprise or two up their musically sleeve.
Yo La Tengo have a new recording in the bag, set to be released September 8th titled Popular Songs. While you wait, check out the first single from the album, “Periodically Double or Triple”, and stay tuned for upcoming tour info.
What does Matador Records have to say about this upcoming release?
Even for longtime followers of Yo La Tengo, the stylistic range encompassed on ‘Popular Songs’ is startling ; the band aren’t merely conversant with rock & pop subgenres stretching into the double digits, but their unselfconscious mastery of such is simply uncanny. Without absolving you of the sacred responsibility of listening to this album from start to finish (with no commercial interruptions!) , we can say with full confidence there are portions of ‘Popular Songs’ where a cursory needle drop reveals a band that doesn’t sound instantly like Yo La Tengo — or at least how you recognized them prior to now. In the words of Mike Wolf, “Yo La Tengo is not afraid. They walk confidently forward, into the unknown, hand in hand. And 12 (or 14) albums in, they may just be hitting their stride.”
