| | Yo La Tengo May I Sing With Me CD Yo La Tengo Discography of CDs
With this 1992 release, Yo La Tengo took a bit of a leap forward. Production-wise, the sound is fuller and more reflective of the passion and fury of their intense live performances than ever before. Additionally, the core group solidified with the addition of bassist James McNew, who has remained with the group ever since. Despite these changes, the group still tends to operate in about three gears: the gentle, the harsh and the hypnotic.
The record begins with drummer Hubley's "Detouring America With Horns"--featuring lovely guitar strumming and campfire harmonies--and ends with the similarly low-key "Satellite," a haunting number that showcases Hubley's clear, vibrato-less vocals. Guitarist-songwriter Kaplan seizes control on manic rockers like "Mushroom Cloud of Hiss," "Some Kinda Fatigue," and the super-intense "Out the Window," songs on which he seems to be throttling unearthly sounds out of his guitar. The group's propensity for the lugubrious, narcotic jam is evidenced on aptly titled songs like "Five-Cornered Drone" and the nearly 10-minute foray into feedback heaven, "Sleeping Pill." On "Always Something," Hubley and Kaplan's gauzy vocals float atop a simple yet insistent guitar figure to create a song of fragile, ethereal beauty.

May I Sing With Me album
$12.79 The most consistently accessible of Yo La Tengo's releases, FAKEBOOK is a decidedly user-friendly set of mostly cover songs, but since the songs are well off the beaten track, they will likely be unfamiliar to people without voluminous record collections. While the band is all about extremes--alternating between gentle strumming and folksy harmonies to all-out squalling feedback jams--FAKEBOOK showcases their quiet side. It is a soothing, pretty record, yet with a loose, pleasing raggedness that is one of ...

$8.99 The debut release by Yo La Tengo captures the group in their most raw and ragged incarnation. Guitarist Kaplan was working as a sound-man and rock critic when his basement jam sessions with his drummer girlfriend Georgia Hubley (later wife) inspired him to get a band together. The inner sleeve includes the original ads they placed in the Village Voice looking for a guitarist and bassist whose influences included Love and Mission of Burma. While these influences are certainly present in these 15 songs, the most obvious influence is that of the Velvet Underground. Kaplan's speak-singing ...
