Nineteen years and 11 albums haven't dulled or lessened the restless eclecticism of Hoboken's enduring avant-rockers Yo La Tengo. Summer Sun follows 2000's minor breakthrough albumAnd Then Nothing Turned Itself Inside Out and like that album, it is the sound of warm, slow-burning enchantment. Yo La Tengo's feat is the way in which their wildly adventurous music sounds so understated and natural. Summer Sun embraces everything from brooding slo-core, kitsch bossa nova 60s pop through to rhythmic and folky electronica without ever sounding contrived or forced.
The gorgeous "Today is the Day" evokes the much-referenced Velvet Underground right down to Georgia Hubley's measured, somnambulant lilt. "Don't Have To Be So Sad" pares shuffling beats with tinkling keys, suggesting a fantasy collaboration between Four Tet and those other masters of downtempo--Low. "Let's be Still" is jazz-inflected pop and the closing Big Star cover "Take Care" is near perfect; an exquisite bittersweet parting shot to the end of a relationship. In their 40s and after nearly 20 years together making music, Yo La Tengo shouldn't sound this good. That they do is no small reason to rejoice. --Suzannah Brown
