Yo La Tengo start world tour dates in Seattle next week.
Yo La Tengo have released This Stupid World on New Music Friday – stream it right here on Live4ever.
The album came with introductory notes from Marc Masters when it was announced back in November last year, Masters writing that the band have, ‘raced time for nearly four decades and, to my ears, they just keep winning’:
“The trio’s latest victory is called This Stupid World, a spellbinding set of reflective songs that resist the ticking clock. This music is not so much timeless as time-defiant. I want to fall out of time’, Ira Kaplan sings in Fallout; ‘Reach back, unwind’.”
The world tour, meanwhile, will reach the UK and Ireland in April for Dublin, Manchester, Bristol and London gigs.
