YO LA TENGO - I Can Hear The Heart Beating As One 2LP world This album embraces relative quiet

This album embraces relative quiet alongside hard-charging riffs and bursts of incendiary color— there’s plenty of face-exploding moments on Dichotomy Desaturated as well

yet BAZOOKA sallies forth with dutiful abandon

EGB captures the carefree ethos of the band's musicianship

the tinkling sound of a piano breaks through for the first time

we’re the punk band for youuuu

YO LA TENGO - I Can Hear The Heart Beating As One 2LP world This album embraces relative quietPrinted inner sleeves. Here, Yo La Tengo achieve something rare: a double album full of genre switches and one off experiments that ends up not being patchy or weird, but instead nearly flawless. This album's lazy, warm, and sentimental, and full of lovely contradictions like how the lovely bossa shimmy of "Center of Gravity" is immediately followed by the spacy krautrock jam "Spec Bebop". It's perfect for sitting in your living room on a cold night,
