NEW VINYL LP ON MATADOR 2019

2 X 180 GRAM VINYL.

For years, Ira Kaplan and Georgia Hubley, Yo La’s husband-and-wife core, have been tending a little plot of land in a post-Velvet Underground urban wasteland. And they’ve remained good citizens as the neighborhood gentrified around them, demonstrating a rock-solid commitment more bands should emulate. Yo La Tengo's albums have never been faithful to a genre. But after getting sweaty with punk rock, intimate with sonic terrorism and cuddling up to a retro surf sound, the trio have decided it's time to settle down. On 'Summer Sun', their combination of aloof art-school pretension and frothy melodic thrill proves to be a marriage made in heaven. It's not quite a case of John Cage meets Kylie, but at heart this is a filmic pop dream, with brooding undercurrents and colourful, slippery melodies.
