February 10 street date. Acclaimed indie trio Yo La Tengo present their most live-sounding album in years, "This Stupid World". Times have changed for the group as much as they have for everyone else. In the past they've often worked with outside producers and mixers, but for their latest effort, the band's sixteenth studio record and first full-length in five years, they were left to their own devices. Their time-tested judgment across the double-LP is both sturdy enough to keep things up to Yo La Tengo's high standards, and nimble enough to make things new. At the base of nearly every track on "This Stupid World" is the trio playing all at once, giving everything a right-now feel. There's an immediacy to the music, as if the distance between the first pass and the final product has become more direct.
