Yo La Tengo - Fade
Just like nearly every Yo La Tengo albums (except maybe I Can Hear the Heart Beating As One), it took quite a few listens for this albums to sink in. And just like nearly every Yo La Tengo album, once it does, I can't stop listening to it. There are many sides to Yo La Tengo, and on some albums they remain remarkably consistent and on some they are all over the map. Here they are playing their consistent game, but they are hitting on some of the more indulgent experimental vibes they explored on Summer Sun or And Then Nothing Turned Itself Inside Out and condensing them into pure indie pop pleasure. Man, I love these guys.
