Yo La Tengo are Georgia Hubley, Ira Kaplan, and James McNew. See them on TOUR THIS FALL:
A new generation of fans are discovering one of the most influential and intriguing bands in late 20th and early 21st century rock’n’roll.
Popular Songs crosses many different styles while marking a musical journey through pop history AND the band’s history. It ranges from the wah-wah opener, “Here To Fall”, to the gorgeous Georgia-sung “Avalon Or Someone Very Similar”, to the concise summer anthem “Nothing To Hide”, culminating with three very long songs that close the album, ending with the 16-minute drone freakout jam, ”And The Glitter Is Gone”.
For the fact inclined: the band recorded this album in their home studio in Hoboken with some help from their old friend Roger Moutenot, and the album's cover art is a piece by Dario Robleto made from pulverized bones and trinitite (glass produced during the first atomic test explosion, from Trinity test site, c. 1945, when heat from blast melted surrounding sand).
Yo La Tengo will be touring heavily in support of Popular Songs, so be sure to check them out!
