This Stupid World

Yo La Tengo

A live-in-the-room document of three decades of chemistry. Hypnotic krautrock rhythms meet weathered indie-rock melodies and bursts of controlled feedback.

It sounds like three best friends playing in a garage, if that garage was at the end of the universe.

A resilient and rhythmic meditation on aging and the passage of time amidst a chaotic world.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The relentless, circular guitar scratch that drives Sinatra Drive Breakdown for over seven minutes.
The way the distortion finally blooms into a warm embrace during the climax of Fallout.
Georgia Hubley's incredibly fragile, breathy vocal delivery on the acoustic-leaning Aselestine.
