Today's post is the second in the last week about a high(er)-profile release from a longtime indie-veteran that you probably don't need me to tell you about. Even so, the effortless resilience with which Yo La Tango refuses to quit making their brilliant quirk-and-fuzz niche-pop is worth any additional attention.
All of the band's calling-cards are present on this release, their 14th: The loungy piano-riffs, stretching avant-noise freak outs, fragile-smartass introvertism, and those catchy hum-along hooks. Such a wide swath of styles might at first seem too disparate and doomed to fail, but keep in mind the pedigree---at this point in their over two-decade career the Hoboken, New Jersey trio is in total control. Sit back and enjoy the ride.
