Yo La Tengo has announced that their sixteenth album, Your Stupid World, will be released on February 10 via Matador. They have also released its lead single “Fallout.” The song is indie-rock at its best. Check it out below.
This Stupid World contains nine tracks and is noted as the most live-sounding Yo La Tengo album in years. It is also produced, mixed and written by the band themselves, giving listeners a journey through each song. It is their first in two years, following 2020s Sleepless Nights. See the full tracklist below. The band will also be hitting the road in support of the new LP. The North American leg kicks off with back-to-back nights in Seattle, WA, with additional stops in Portland, Los Angeles, Nashville, Brooklyn and Chicago. It is set to conclude on March 26 in Minneapolis, MN. They will then head to Europe, which kicks off in Dublin on April 10. Tickets for the tour are on sale now. Check out the full itinerary below.
Next month, the band will be playing eight shows at New York’s Bowery Ballroom, which will begin on December 18 and conclude on December 25. The first six shows are sold out but tickets still remain for the last two. They can be purchased on the band’s website.
