This stupid world. That's all we have. Yo La Tengo's latest album is now on sale! Yo La Tengo, whose long history of activities can be described as an ideal form of US alternative and indie music, has released their latest album "This Stupid World" from "Matador" after their much talked about collaboration EP with Yoshitomo Nara. The album was self-produced by the band members, and almost all of the songs are performed by all three members at the same time, making it the most live-feeling album Yo La Tengo has released in the past few years. From the over seven-minute opener "Sinatra Drive Breakdown," which invites immersion into the album's world, to the early favorite and alternate classic "Tom Courtenay," the preceding single "Fallout," reminiscent of "Sugarcube," and the majestic The album features a total of nine tracks that mark numerous sonic journeys typical of Yo La Tengo, including the closing track "Miles Away," a song that leaves a deep aftertaste of Georgia's voice singing of resignation and optimism amidst the droning strings and dubby rhythm track.The Japanese CD of this album, which will be released simultaneously worldwide on February 10, 2023 (Fri.), will include a commentary, bilingual lyrics, and an additional bonus track.
