Free Music Notes for And Then Nothing Turned Itself Inside-Out
Free Music Review: I'm in the minority, but I don't love this one.
Hit: 2 Stars
One of the things I absolutely adore about Yo La Tengo is that they've never stood still, each album is an evolution, an experiment, a step in a different direction. Of course, what's likely to happen is that on some steps along the way, there's going to be something that I don't care for, but I'd prefer this than constant reinvention of their earlier records. And sometimes, the change produces heights that I couldn't've dreamed Yo La Tengo would reach to.
For me though, "And Nothing Turned Itself Inside-Out" falls more in the former category-- it's an album of sublime difference from all their other records, but for me, it's more a miss than a hit. The album is rife is organs, programmed beats and a very modern vibe. It's certainly intriguing and lots of folks like it, it's just not for me-- too many of the pieces feel overlong ("Everyday"), forced (the droll "Last Days of Disco") or just not terribly interesting (the much loved by everyone else "Saturday", so I suppose you should take my criticism with a grain of salt.
There's a couple standouts here and there-- the band's too good not to pull something off, the bouncy "You Can Have It All" is a sublime pop song with a great groove and the pastoral "Our Way to Fall" is really something, quite unexpected even from a band as diverse as Yo La Tengo. Still, "And Nothing Turned Itself Inside-Out" just isn't an album I could get into.
And Then Nothing Turned Itself Inside-Out Poster
Full title - And Then Nothing Turned Itself Inside-Out. Tenth album from American indie act. Digipak. 2000 release. Matador Records.Yo La Tengo's most consistently brilliant record is also their quietest, as husband and wife Ira Kaplan and Georgia Hubley turn the volume down while exploring decidedly grown-up relationship themes. It's definitely not the shoe-gazer-tinged barrage of guitars they've supplied in the past, but the silences here speak louder than an amplified guitar ever could. --Matthew Cooke
Yo La Tengo's 11th album is a relentlessly satisfying, slyly low-key affair with shimmery organs, muted soft-brush drumming, loping bass lines, casually strummed guitars, and interlocking rounds of hushed vocal harmonies. Yes, this is Yo La Tengo we're talking about, a band that formerly rivaled the Dream Syndicate in feedback squall--tastes of which do appear on the uptempo "Cherry Chapstick." Nothing is the most the trio--Ira Kaplan, Georgia Hubley, and James McNew--have explored their interests in atmosphere, drone, and minimalist song structure since a handful of '90s club dates under the name Sleeping Pill. So, the consistently subdued tone is not without precedent, and any YLT fan knows that they have steadily evolved and reshaped their sound since forming in 1984. But what is remarkable about Nothing (aside from its erudite genre-mixing and USDA-choice melodies) is that it's consistent; this is the group's most coherent, thematically linked CD since 1990's Fakebook. As further cement, it has never been easier to decipher what husband and wife Ira and Georgia are singing about: their love for each other, from flirtatious first encounters to the arduous task of surviving skirmishes. Subtle and surprising--the singing alone is to die for--the record squirms away from whichever genre trap one attempts to fashion for it. Just call it indie rock for grownups, turn it up real loud, and get lost. --Mike McGonigal
