YO LA TENGO - I Can Hear The Heart Beating As One 2LP world all soft sounds and comforting

all soft sounds and comforting words

the tinkling sound of a piano breaks through for the first time

and 13th Floor Elevators

YO LA TENGO - I Can Hear The Heart Beating As One 2LP world all soft sounds and comfortingPrinted inner sleeves. Here, Yo La Tengo achieve something rare: a double album full of genre switches and one off experiments that ends up not being patchy or weird, but instead nearly flawless. This album's lazy, warm, and sentimental, and full of lovely contradictions like how the lovely bossa shimmy of "Center of Gravity" is immediately followed by the spacy krautrock jam "Spec Bebop". It's perfect for sitting in your living room on a cold night,
