This sprawling, ambitious album is YO LA TENGO?s 16th, and marks the band?s 25th Anniversary. It is also a new culmination for a career that has been swinging upwards again since the release of 2006?s „I Am Not Afraid Of You…?

Popular Songs crosses a ton of different styles whilst marking a musical journey through pop history, as well as Yo La Tengo?s extensive musical past.

The album ranges from the foreboding wah-wah of the opener, “Here To Fall” to the gorgeous, Georgia-sung “Avalon Or Something Very Similar”, to the concise RAMONES-driven summer anthem “Nothing To Hide”, and then to the three, very long songs that close the album; ending with the 16-minute drone freak-out jam of “And The Glitter Is Gone”.

A new generation of fans are once again discovering one of the most influential and intriguing bands from the late-20th and early-21st century rock'n'roll era.
