Yo La Tengo
Comment:
With similarities to Sonic Youth in terms of its prolific, two-decade-plus career; fearless, grab-a-track-by-its-chords creativity; and hip-married-couple nucleus, Yo La Tengo is one of indie rock's few standing institutions. Their influences are clear (the experimental/accessible gray areas of the Velvet Underground, splotchy canvases of spectrum-crossing sound, and pop as vintage as a cellared bottle of wine) and their intentions are even clearer (indie rock with dashes of free-form jazz and feedback), but one thing Yo La Tengo's never been is predictable. So forgive us for what we're about to say: The following is essential listening for anyone who finds record shopping [i]more[/i] enjoyable than even chocolate or sex.
