Yo La Tengo by Cheryl Dunn
Yo La Tengo’s first LP in nearly five years is due on Friday.
Yo La Tengo have unveiled their new single Sinatra Drive Breakdown.
The sprawling track references the waterfront boulevard in Hoboken, New Jersey and is taken from the band’s upcoming new album This Stupid World.
“Time keeps moving and things keep changing, but that doesn’t mean we can’t fight back. Yo La Tengo have raced time for nearly four decades and, to my ears, they just keep winning,” Marc Masters wrote when introducing the record late last year.
“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’.”
