Yo La Tengo - Let's Save Tony Orlando's House (And Then Nothing Turned Itself Inside-Out)

Yo La Tengo was another band that I've discovered in the good old days of the Portuguese summer festival Paredes de Coura. Things I remember: pure valve rock; a great juxtaposition of melodic quiet stuff with abrasive electricity à la Velvet; a lot of improvisational noisy parts; an unexpected choreography for the song You Can Have It All; the best female drummer I've ever seen on stage. And Then Nothing Turned Itself Inside-Out is probably their melhancolliest album. Still my favourite.
