Yo La Tengo
There’s A Riot Going On
their brand new 2 LP setTheres a riot going on. You dont need me, or Yo La Tengo, to tell you that.These are dark times, in our heads as much as in the streets. Its easy to losecontact with the ground. Confusion and anxiety intrude into daily life and causeyou to lose your compass. There are times that call for anthems, something tolift you out of your slump and put fire in your feet. And sometimes what is neededis a balm, a sound that will wrap around you and work out the knots in your neck. For Yo La Tengo, this is a slow-motion action painting. Ira Kaplan, Georgia Hubley,and James McNew did it all themselves, in their rehearsal studio, with no engineerand no complicated equipment (John McEntire later assisted in mixing). They didnot rehearse together beforehand; they turned on the recorder and let things coalesce.Songs came together over long stretches, sometimes as much as a year going bybetween parts. Youd never guess this, since the layers are joined with such aliquid brush.Youd imagine most of the songs had sprung forth whole, since they will enter your headthat way. Within two listens you will be powerless to resist the magnetic draw ofShades of Blue, will involuntarily hear She May, She Might on your internal jukeboxfirst thing in the morning and Lets Do It Wrong late at night. While theres a riotgoing on, Yo La Tengo will remind you what its like to dream. The sound burblesand washes and flows and billows. If records were dedicated to the cardinal elements,
this one would be water. There are shimmery hazes, spectral rumbles, a flash ofbackward masking. You are there. And even if your mind is not unclouded–shaken,misdirected, out of words and out of time–you can still float, ride the waves of anocean deeper than your worries, above the sound and above the Sound.tracks are;You Are Here
