This EP is centered around four wildly different interpretations of Sun Ra's anti-war anthem, 'Nuclear War'. The versions range from a straightforward indie rock take to a long, chaotic free-jazz freakout. It's a playful and powerful tribute to one of their key influences, showcasing Yo La Tengo's experimental spirit and their ability to deconstruct a song to its core components.
