Electr-o-pura

by Yo La Tengo

supported by

Tristan Pollack Don’t Say A Word could be an outtake from Velvet Underground & Nico, but it is also equally its own thing both sonically and poetically. Georgia’s vocals truly shine on Don’t Say A Word just as much as they shine one Pablo and Andrea & Blue Line Swinger.

There is something pure, ineffably beautiful and timeless about Don’t Say A Word.

Favorite track: Don't Say a Word (Hot Chicken #2).

tideracer You don't have to be a hipster to love the music of Yo La Tengo. I'm no hipster, but I so dearly love Electr-o-pura, unnecessary hyphens & all. This record is magnificent, understated, fuzzy and glorious -and that all just proves my point.

Charlie Moonbeam This is Yo La Tengo really riding the waves between ripping and relaxing. Favorite track: Decora.

about

Continuing with their ever-expanding Revisionist History series, Matador Records announce a 25th anniversary reissue of Yo La Tengo’s 1995 album Electr-o-pura. Now in a gatefold sleeve and cut from the original 58-minute master, the new reissue is pressed for the first time on two LPs to ensure the highest quality of audio the album has had on vinyl to date.

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.
