Renowned for their wistfully melodic guitar rock, American indie band Yo La Tengo have developed a strong cult following since their formation in 1984. They are frequently compared to The Velvet Underground and have been dubbed the ‘quintessential critics’ band’. Fade is Yo La Tengo’s 13th full-length album, which has been likened to their 1997 masterpiece I Can Hear the Heart Beating as One. It’s a solid and beautifully concise album, which strikes a middle ground between new territory and the band’s most alluring retrospective moments.
