The double vinyl edition of Yo La Tengo’s 2009 album, Popular Songs, is finally back in print! The sprawling, 12-track record (including three songs over 8 minutes in length, and one 15 minute jam) is one of their most eclectic and cathartic. Featuring the Parisian pop of “Avalon or Someone Very Similar,” the joyous rocker “Nothing To Hide” and the whimsical “Periodically Double Or Triple.”

Recorded in Hoboken and Nashville in early 2009 with longtime associate Roger Mountenot, Popular Songs finds the trio of Georgia Hubley, Ira Kaplan and James McNew at the height of their creative powers, fashioning an epic work that’s as cooly confident as it is wildly adventurous. In the words of Mike Wolf, “Yo La Tengo is not afraid. They walk confidently forward, into the unknown, hand in hand. They may just be hitting their stride.” 

“Impeccably crafted. As always, Yo La Tengo showcases many musical sides and finds a way to own them all.” - NPR

“Among the most consistently rewarding bands of our time.” - Pitchfork
