Unusually for me, a respected band who are still around. As opposed to a band that only me and you, dear reader, ever liked and lasted two years tops. And then reformed last year and played two festivals and a show at The Garage in Highbury.
Anyhew, this is one of the hypnotic-style Yo La Tengo tunes, and nice on headphones. Quite rocking and repetitive, all good stuff. They're one of those bands I tend to dip in and out of, sometimes a single or an album will really grab me, and other times I can really take or leave them. This I like.
The a-side was originally off a soundtrack, so wasn't on an album, so if you're a fan you might be interested. The second track on the CD is a Richard and Linda Thompson cover, which is really good, and has lovely harmonies on the chorus. Track 3 is more acoustic (but with feedback and brass, nice), and also a good song.
Good stuff overall. Hope you like it.

H'yar.
Fantastic stuff, thanks so much for sharing this. I'm a fan of the band and yet shamefully was 100% ignorant of this release. Cheers!

ReplyDeleteHey. Sorry, I've been neglecting this blog for a really long time, and only just saw your comment. I'll see if I can re-up it all at some point, but for now: https://mega.nz/#!mUkgSSAZ!PdmwXnugK3yheZI1imhN-C_asgKxo0WGMLKyJTMbsB8
