This Stupid World (LP)
Yo La Tengo
Amoeba Review
Yo La Tengo have another indie hit on their hands with This Stupid World. It’s an album with a song for every season, with tracks that lead the listener in all kinds of welcome new directions while still tethered together by that indescribable Yo La Tengo magic. The band creates angular, bristling, controlled rock ’n’ roll chaos on “Sinatra Drive Breakdown.” Then, on the opposite end of the spectrum, there’s the dreamy, wistful, country-tinged “Aselestine.” Both tracks linger in the mind and in the heart for different reasons, and they’re just a sampling. With songs this good, This Stupid World will stay in heavy rotation for months to come.
