Album Notes & Community Reviews
True to its tongue-in-cheek title, 'Popular Songs' tours through Yo La Tengo's diverse influences, from Motown-style pop to noisy shoegaze. The album stretches from concise three-minute gems to sprawling fifteen-minute jams. It is a warm, comfortable record from indie rock's most reliable veterans.
