Yo La Tengo
There’s A Riot Going On
Matador
this indie institution give us an immersive, utterly swoonworthy album to crawl inside of and live in for a while – a refuge from the world in the form of warm, expansive, and downright gorgeous guitar pop.
this set deals in nocturnal, gently fuzzy melters and clear-eyed heartbreakers spread over 15 tracks that unfurl with graceful ambience before your ears. newcomers to this band are well advised to start here, and buy on spec if the idea of third-album velvet underground, 90’s u.s. indie and timeless songwriting piques your interest…and how could it not? fans have already taken this late-career masterpiece home. “an exceptional addition to Yo La Tengo's legacy, a timeless classic” 9/10 – exclaim, “a remarkably immersive and generous album, emotionally as well as musically…(yo la tengo) create small, quiet riots by seeking solace and inspiration in the pop music of the past” album of the month - uncut
