Yo La Tengo - I Can Hear The Heart Beat As One (25th Anniversary Edition)

1997's I Can Hear The Heart Beating As One is amongst the most popular albums by Yo La Tengo. The style of music is an eclectic blend of folk, rock, shoegazing, electronic, and what can be widely termed experimental.

Yo La Tengo had already been slowly growing into their sound for over a decade by the 1997 release of their revelational eighth album, I Can Hear the Heart Beating as One. Their guitar-based pop was steadily finding its legs before this, as the band moved toward increasingly dreamy productions on albums like Painful and Electr-O-Pura. The 16 tracks that made up the ambitious and epic I Can Hear the Heart found the group stretching out their whispery vocals and deceptively straightforward pop approach to encompass a variety of unexpected styles.
