Peaking Lights - 936 - (2011)

One of the best album of the year. The past few years have been a boon for Not Not Fun, with major minor successes like Ducktails and Sun Araw undoubtedly exposing the label beyond its base. A drum machine, and the dub connotations it carries, makes all the difference for 936. Each track has the uncanny ability to drift with Indra Dunis’ lazy, ethereal vocals, yet they still feel tight, despite the long playing times. neo-psychedelic, dub, noise pop

Dump - That Skinny Motherfucker with the High Voice? (1998)

Whereas Sonic Youth was inspired by  Madonna , here Yo La Tengo’s James McNew lovingly runs through a selection of Prince songs.  The individual tracks range from the acoustically strummed to churning electric guitar backed by distorted ambiance with programmed laptop beats. Originally released in 1998 on cassette, the collection later saw a compact disc release in 2001 with five additional tracks.  

Better than originals.
