─ Release notes ─────────────────────────────────────── ─── ─ ─
After the elegant, introspective romantic narratives of
And Then Nothing Turned Itself Inside-Out and the
beautifully crafted but restrained pop textures of
Summer Sun, it was hard not to wonder if Yo La Tengo
was ever going to turn up the amps and let Ira Kaplan
go nuts on guitar again, and for more than a few fans
"Pass the Hatchet, I Think I'm Goodkind," the opening
cut from YLT's 2006 album I Am Not Afraid of You and I
Will Beat Your Ass, will feel like the reassuring sound
of a homecoming -- ten minutes of noisy six-string
freak-out, with James McNew's thick, malleable
basslines and Georgia Hubley's simple but subtly funky
drumming providing a rock-solid framework for Kaplan's
enthusiastic fret abuse. After the thematic and sonic
consistency of their previous two major albums, I Am
Not Afraid marks a return to the joyous eclecticism of
1997's I Can Hear the Heart Beating as One, though
nearly ten years down the road Yo La Tengo sounds
noticeably more confident in their embrace of different
styles and less hesitant in their technique on this
album -- even Kaplan's gloriously unkempt guitar solos
start to suggest a certain degree of well-earned
professionalism. The songs also sound a shade less
playful and more disciplined, though the group's
ability to bring their distinct personality to so many
different styles attests to their continuing love of
this music and the quiet strength of their vision --
the neo-Byrds-ian psychedelia of "The Race Is on
Again," the homey horn-punctuated pop of "Beanbag
Chair," the plaintive folk-rock on "Black Flowers," the
aggressive Farfisa-fueled minimalisms of "The Room Got
Heavy," and "Daphina," which suggests a John Fahey
track transcribed to piano and then used as the root
for a eight-minute exercise in low-key atmospherics,
all function on a different level and each one
satisfies. What's both engaging and impressive about I
Am Not Afraid of You and I Will Beat Your Ass is that,
as usual, these 15 songs always end up sounding like Yo
La Tengo, whether they're upbeat guitar pop or dense
loop-based drones, and if there's a bit less childlike
Θlan here than in the past, there's also an
intelligence and joy that confirms Yo La Tengo is still
one of the great treasures of American indie rock, and
they haven't run out of ideas or the desire to make
them flesh in the studio just yet.
