Today’s Music by Today’s Composers.
Yo La Tengo.
In today’s episode of Contemporary Music, we’ll listen to the American band Yo La Tengo. Sometimes they make poppy and dreamy music; other times, their music is hard and noisy; there is a lot of variation in the repertoire of this interesting band. They have made a lot of music since the 80s, and they are still doing it.
