Album Review: Yo La Tengo - Stuff Like That There

Conceptually revisiting 1990's fan-revered Fakebook — which comprised leftfield covers, reworkings of Yo La Tengo's own tracks and a few new originals — this collection again showcases the trio's adroit knack at reinterpretation, a skill few bother to master let alone glorify.

Of the covers, Georgia Hubley's breathy readings of Hank Williams' I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry and The Cure's Friday I'm In Love shine brightest (although the lesser-known covers routinely work wonderfully), while the reimagining of Deeper Into Movies and new track Awhileaway rule their own material. Gorgeous.
