YO LA TENGO, "AND THEN NOTHING TURNED ITSELF INSIDE-OUT"

This release marks the10th full-length original studio record of that lovable NY trio thatdoesn't seem to have an enemy in the music press. Rightfully so, too.
This is our yearly reminder of intelligent rockmusic, composed and performed by compentent pop songsters, cleverlydisguised underneath the shadow of indie pop through both their fanbase and their label, Matador. It's a wonderfully crafted record, witha captivating opening with rocking peaks and beautiful valleys over thecourse of 13 tracks - stretching well over the 75 minute mark. Whiletheir recorded sound has always included an array of instruments,historically their live shows have been limited to what three peoplecan perform - this year however, joining them on stage are two moremusicians making it a show worth the effort to go see.
