Fun times getting logged out when pressing submit... anyways. Veterans Yo La Tengo deliver us a natural, gentle blend of folk, country and alt-indie-rock on Stuff Like That There as soothing vocal harmonies seamlessly blend into twangy guitars. The chemistry between the husband-wife duo is especially apparent here and the best part of the album. Is it anything eye-popping and revolutionary? No, considering since it is almost all cover songs (of their own and others). Is it a soothing and solid album to play on a lazy relaxing morning, snowy day or when a crowd of just about anyone is visiting? Yes, very much so. Almost all of the songs are good but my personal favorites are: My Heart's Not In It, Im So Lonesome, Friday I'm In Love, Butchie's Tune, Automatic Doom and Somebody's In Love.
