The second installment of Matador's 2022 "Revisionist History" catalog series is a colored vinyl 2LP reissue of Yo La Tengo's undeniable 1997 classic I Can Hear the Heart Beating As One. On this album, the band consolidates their sound as they expand it, incorporating bossa nova, electronica and 60s pop into a gorgeous shimmering whole that is something more than the sum of its parts. The laconic-but-expressive vocals of Ira Kaplan and Georgia Hubley provide the songs with just the right combination of detachment and naivete, and the trio (which also includes bassist James McNew) sounds like one person with six arms, three brains and one big heart.
