"CA: approved (looks like a jazz album from the mid-60's).
This album is really about connecting with the outer and inner universe. Yo La Tengo is the music, stuck between the surface-universe, and the metaphysical place with happiness you only can feel after you left Earth. Their spiritual-formed pop rock tunes makes the dizzy mind of mine in ease of cozy beauty. When they embody a genre, they do it with 100% nature. Shortcomings or not, it never once feel super- or artificial. There’s not un momento that is build into contemporary or old clichés. As Repo pointed out about them not being as “headline-grabbing” as many other of their more famous contemporaries (YLT ain’t about high exposure either), a part of their intimacy and understating has swam into a safe place in my heart. (Sorry to just pick on Radiohead every description, but they are like the self-aware imperfect Radiohead. Which makes YLT much better in my book.) Here’ya got songs that are both small adventures in their unpredictability, and other that feels hypnotic and meditative in their predictability (yeah I cannot dislike Spec Bebop). Some joints here are so sub-consciously well-executed, they can trick you into thinking you’re inside a dream. The harmonies sound more like two close people amusing each other, rather than two professional singers. Every minute is joyful. It isn’t just musically warm, it’s also a warm listen humanistically (Hot Chicken, All wrongs reversed etc). Even though this is far from their most shoegaze-y hour, the shoegaze parts in here rivals MBV’s highest moments.
Simply put, Yo La Tengo’s magnum opus (alongside their other records) are indie rock compositions with a unique climate. Big props to Greg Calibi and Roger Mountenot for mixing and mastering it so astonishingly. The total catalog of Yo La Tengo is landscapes of wholesome music. I Can Hear The Heart Beating As One is just currently my favorite one, ‘cause it is a coruscating display of love, with imperfection as center of its enormous appeal."
Rating: a stunning 95, and ranked #39 of favorites oat.
