Un indie rock live essentiel et inventif !
Depuis plus de 30 ans, Yo La Tengo parvient à créer un indie rock suffisamment familier et imprévisible pour rester captivant. Leur nouvel LP This Stupid World reste fidèle à cette formule efficace et équilibrée.
Yo La Tengo se produira à l’AB le dimanche 16 avril.
"... a glorious blend of squalling guitars and introspective ballads" / "A quintessential YLT album""its own small wonder, as every Yo La Tengo album seems to be"
“Trust the indie stalwarts – still standing after nearly four decades – to perfectly capture the mood of our challenging times. This is the 16th studio album by the trio of Ira Kaplan, Georgia Hubley and James McNew and one of their most urgent and immediate.

“The group's most exciting, most engaged, most breathtaking album this century"
“This Stupid World is just a particularly timely chapter in the modest saga of indie rock’s most unassuming institution. Its songs capture not only the darkness so many of us feel with each waking day but also the impulse to keep waking, to keep going. “This stupid world, it’s killing me,” the trio finally offers as one on the title track, a mighty shoegaze wonder where distortion and feedback thread together like a warm blanket.”
“De nieuwe plaat schroeit, mijmert en zweeft hier en daar op een dubby wolk voorbij (‘Miles Away’). Maar het is de rauwe en rusteloze feel van de songs – de genadeloos wegtikkende tijd is een thema op ‘This Stupid World’ – die ervoor zorgt dat de jaren vooralsnog geen vat op Yo La Tengo lijken te krijgen.”
