Yo La Tengo: Stuff Like That There
Mike Barnes, MOJO, September 2015
THE VIDEO for 'Ohm' from Yo la Tengo's last album, 2013's Fade, is an animation which starts with a teacher writing a question on the board: What is Yo La Tengo? A girl in the class starts writing a long and exceptionally complicated equation using names like Nancy Sinatra, Tender Trap, Modest Mouse, Thelonious Monk, Toni Basil, Captain Beefheart and Lambchop — to varying levels of seriousness. The end product is a sandwich that's opened up to reveal the band playing inside.
