Popular Songs, the 12th album from Hoboken indie-rock mainstays Yo La Tengo, showcases their skill and affinity for experimenting with a variety of music styles in their 25 years together. The record brims with lo-fi slow burners with dynamic melodies, clever lyrics, shimmering guitars and keyboards that range from tracks with a soulful Motown vibe to a hazy Velvet Underground aesthetic and catchy garage-rock. Popular Songs is another gem in Yo La Tengo’s discography.
