Album Notes & Community Reviews

On 'Electr-o-Pura', Yo La Tengo beautifully expands their indie rock sound with extended, heavily textured noise pop jams and whispered acoustics. The album balances soaring, distorted guitar work with incredibly tender, melancholic, and deeply sentimental dream pop melodies.
