Yo La Tengo is one of my all-time favorite bands - but that said, their recent albums haven't really captured my attention or made it into my rotation. Their 90s era stuff (painful, I can hear the heart beating as one) are absolutely amazing all-time favorites. Worth listening to if you can find the time :)
Thanks for the heads-up on the comment link. Not sure what happened. I think I fixed it but it’ll still be wonky coming from the email.
I have been so excited to explore more of YLT knowing this isn’t even their best album. I listened to I Can Hear... and loved it. I will listen to Painful next. Thanks for the recommendation!
I was so excited to see you reviewed Heavy Heavy and that your chosen word for it (joy) is precisely the word I assigned to it! In fact, I was listening to this record while folding offensive amounts of laundry last night and it made the chore feel just the tiniest bit like a party. Actually, that’s an exaggeration, but it made me feel the slightest bit happier.

I’m so glad you feel that way, too! I don’t think “party” is too strong of a description. Laundry 👏 parties 👏 are 👏 valid! 👏
