Yo La Tengo - Electr-o-pura (Black Vinyl)

On their seventh studio album, Yo La Tengo would further expand on the venturous songwriting established on their previous album Painful with stunning craft and a deepened exploration of contrasting textures, moods and atmospherics. Chock full with moments of pop gold like Tom Courtenay, melancholic ballads such as the heartbreaking Pablo And Andrea, and sweeping, feedback-laden jams like the show-stopping Blue Line Swinger, Electr-o-pura is a thrilling document of one of America’s most beloved bands hitting their creative stride and remains one of the most sublime records the band has released in their uninterrupted 36-year career.
