Yo La Tengo have announced details of their new album ‘This Stupid World’ – you can listen to its first single ‘Fallout’ below.
The long-running band – comprised of Georgia Hubley, Ira Kaplan and James McNew – are set to return next year with their first new release since 2020’s ‘We Have Amnesia Sometimes’.
Set for release on February 10, 2023 via Matador Records, ‘This Stupid World’ will consist of nine tracks, including the record’s lead single ‘Fallout’.
You can watch the official lyric video for Yo La Tengo’s ‘Fallout’ below.
“Of course, times have changed for Yo La Tengo as much as they have for everyone else,” a press release accompanying the announcement of ‘This Stupid World’ reads. “In the past, the band has often worked with outside producers and mixers. They made ‘This Stupid World’ all by themselves. And their time-tested judgment is both sturdy enough to keep things to the band’s high standards, and nimble enough to make things new.”
