Yo La Tengo I Am Not Afraid of You and I Will Beat Your Ass
Stark, lush, hypermelodic,
droney as hell, whimsical, ponderous, powerful, delicate--the vast
array of palettes here is almost too much to take in. This band, with
this release, surpasses quasi rivals Sonic Youth as the bellweather of
american distorto-pop. "black flowers," "song for mahila," "the story
of yo la tango" stun with their majesty and humanity.
