Yo La Tengo / ヨ・ラ・テンゴ - Popular Songs / ポピュラー・ソングス

アメリカのオルタナティブ・ミュージックバンド、ヨ・ラ・テンゴの12作目のオリジナル・アルバム。長年の盟友 Roger Moutenot とバンドとの共同プロデュース。

Georgia, Ira and James of Yo La Tengo are exceptions to this rule, and Popular Songs, their 12th (or 14th, depending on what and how you count) album is the proof. Because when this new and dramatically unimproved world puts the hard questions to Yo La Tengo, they go Socratic as hell, swaggeringly, reassuringly, honestly telling us that all they know is they know nothing. They do not know why that sunbeam comes through the window when you are determined to sulk; they do not know just how are we going to make it, anyway?
