I Can Hear the Heart Beating As One
“Twenty years on from its original release, Yo La Tengo’s finest album still sparkles with wit and charm, an album so cozy you forget about its musical eclecticism.”
Extra Painful
“This year marks Yo La Tengo’s 30th anniversary, and they’re celebrating it by reissuing their sixth album, Painful, released nearly a decade into their career. The cardigan-cozy sound of the record effectively established Yo La Tengo as indie rock’s great romantics, and featured a couple of significant firsts for the trio.”
Electr-O-Pura
“In 1995, the indie rock trio lurched headlong into its own sound with Electr-O-Pura. Now, newly reissued on vinyl, the pop-focused and densely referential album remains a monument in the band’s catalog.”
This Stupid World
“On their liveliest album in at least a decade, indie rock’s most steadfast institution squares up against ubiquitous darkness.”
I Am Not Afraid of You and I Will Beat Your Ass
“Indie rock vets follow the disappointing Summer Sun with an expansive, ambitious record exploring every style in their repertoire, and a few new ones, too.”
Prisoners of Love: A Smattering of Scintillating Senescent Songs 1985-2003 PLUS A Smattering of Outtakes and Rarities 1986-2002
“Indie rock legends Yo La Tengo get the compilation treatment with two discs of the best from their eclectic career. A limited-edition release comes with a bonus CD of outtakes and rarities.”
