Yo La Tengo – “Fallout”

Yo La Tengo – “Fallout”

A new Yo La Tengo album is coming! The legendary indie rock trio will release This Stupid World, which they’re calling their 16th studio LP, in February. It’s preceded today by “Fallout,” a chugging, droning fuzz-pop gem in the classic YLT mold. “I don’t have what you need,” Ira Kaplan sings. “I don’t have what you want from me.” Au contraire, Ira — this is exactly what I’m looking for from your band.

Yo La Tengo self-produced This Stupid World, and it’s billed as the most live-sounding YLT album in years — a notion affirmed by “Fallout.” Hear it yourself below, where you can also find the band’s tour dates for both North America and Europe.
