New Jersey legends Yo La Tengo will release their 16th album This Stupid World on February 10 through Matador. They have previewed the nine-track album with lead single “Fallout”.
The new track finds Yo La Tengo in fuzz-up form, charging forwards on resonant guitars and buzzing bass. Ira Kaplan complements these wind-tunnel sonics with a vocal that sounds battered, pushed back and finds him wishing to “fall out of time” and “reach back… unwind.” The band’s bluster only picks up though, driving forward in three-pronged unison we’ve come to know and love them for over these decades.
Watch the lyric video for “Fallout” below or find the track on streamers.
Yo La Tengo’s new album This Stupid World is out on February 10 through Matador (pre-order/save). You can find the band on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.
