Thom Yorke has compared writing for Yo La Tengo’s new album to that on ‘Summer Sun’ - but has declared the lyrics will be even more terrifying. This is one of the best Cd’s Yo La Tengo has dropped to date. Now signed to Yo La Tengo’s Capitol Records, the title track from second album “Summer Sun” leads Yo La Tengo’s back-to-school campaign. Great Indie right here!
Little Eyes defines beauty, yet is as unforgiving as an astringent stone. Nothing But You and Me is the albums biggest surprise. Season of the Shark on Summer Sun is solid and easy to listen to. After few listenings I started to like Today Is the Day more and more. Tiny Birds is a song that takes you on the journey before it reaches the conclusion. How to Make a Baby Elephant Float is the albums lead single as well as biggest hit. Georgia Vs. Yo la Tengo - Check out that bassline! Don’t Have to Be So Sad is one of my favorite songs by Yo La Tengo. This song stands out greatly from the others. Moonrock Mambo is beautiful, yet underrated track. Yo La Tengo is one of artists that allow his songs like Let’s Be Still to stand on their own and be heard. Take Care is a great opener for Summer Sun.
