Yo La Tengo announce ‘Stuff Like That There’

Yo La Tengo announces new album 'Stuff Like That There.' Out August 28th on Matador.

Yo La Tengo are celebrating their 30th anniversary with the release of Stuff Like That There on August 28th via Matador Records, and will embark on a world tour starting June 26th at Sled Island Music & Arts Festival in Calgary, AB. The Band are alos sharing a new version of “Deeper into movies” and a cover of The Special Pillow’s “Automatic Doom.”

The trio of Ira Kaplan, Georgia Hubley and James McNew now return as a quartet, reuniting with former member Dave Schramm on electric guitar as they revisit the original concept of their previous release Fakebook (a mix of cover songs, “covers” of Yo La Tengo songs, and brand new originals) on its 25th anniversary. This unprecedented live set-up — Ira on acoustic guitar, Georgia up-front on a small kit, and James on upright bass — marks the first occasion of this particular Yo La Tengo incarnation touring together (and since it took them 31 years to get around to doing so, could very well also be the last).
