YO LA TENGO “I am not afraid of you and I will beat your ass” 2xLP

What could quite possibly be the greatest album name ever imagined, Yo La Tengo are back with their 5 millionth album. This bold, eclectic, 80-minute album is the pinnacle of the band’s twenty-year career. From eleven-minute guitar jams to gorgeous ballads to winsome horn-drenched pop songs, this album is all over the map, in a very good way. Features the talents of longtime Nashville producer Roger Moutenot, violinist Dave Mansfield of Dylan’s Rolling Thunder Review, and the jacket artistry of Gary Panter (Raw, Jimbo). Here are a couple of mp3s to check out:
