Yo La Tengo - There’s a Riot Going On (2018). Almost 35 years in history with no time off they’ve just released their 15th studio album. Now they will probably never repeat the string of masterpieces they released during the 90s but still manages to deliver very high quality pop songs even to this day. This new album is no exception. It may not be another Painful or I Can Hear the Heart Beating as One but better than most of the new materials being released today. They have a knack for writing very melodious and beautiful tunes being the cornerstone of American indie rock/pop. They never achieved any significant commercial success but remains the darling of critics. I’m not a fan of critics and prefer more mass appealing bands but these guys are on a whole different level. They probably will never make it to Rock n Roll Hall of Fame but will be remembered as a big influence in shaping of American indie rock. How long they will keep at this no one knows, but I hope I can again write about their new album 10 years from now. #yolatengo #theresariotgoinon #matador #indierock #indiepop #irakaplan
