Yo La Tengo Announce New Covers LP, 'Stuff Like That There'

Celebrating a whopping 30 years as a band, Hoboken's Yo La Tengo have announced the release of a brand new album of covers, of their own and other artists' songs, titled Stuff Like That There. The vibrant new album was inspired by the 25th anniversary of their breakthrough 1990 LP, Fakebook.

In a press release, Kurt Wagner of Lambchop sings praises of the band and their new record, proclaiming, "Stuff Like That There may well be a 25th anniversary sequel to the idea of Fakebook, but to my ears it makes a case for simply returning to what moved Yo La Tengo to make things in the first place: embracing the people who they still hold close and making a spirited noise about it."

Stuff Like That There is due out on Aug. 28 via Matador Records, and the band will head out on a world tour kicking off Sept. 23 in Troy, New York; you can check out their scheduled tour dates below.

The record is currently available for pre-order at Matador's webstore, iTunes, Amazon and Google Play. When you pre-order from the label, you will also get a full-print tote bag with a "circa 2015 cassingle" that has both new and unreleased songs, as well as some mystery goodies.
