From a Motel 6

Yo La Tengo

A nocturnal snapshot of 90s indie rock. Hushed vocals drift over warm blankets of feedback and steady, driving rhythms perfect for highway solitude.

The perfect soundtrack for when you're halfway through a cross-country drive and the caffeine is finally wearing off.

A restless but cozy sense of being adrift in the middle of the night.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The way the feedback swells and recedes like a tide during the instrumental breaks of the title track.
The hypnotic, repetitive drum pattern on Nutricia that creates a trance-like state over six minutes.
The contrast between the delicate, breathy vocal delivery and the wall of distorted guitar texture.
