  May 1, 2013 – Yo La Tengo vocalist and recent Words of Wisdom-giver Ira Kaplan contributes to the latest leak from Portland ambient o.g. Eluvium.

  January 30, 2013 – Yo La Tengo's excellent Fade, as SPIN's Keith Harris wrote, once again exists within the intimacy of the aspirationally long-running marriage of guitarist Ira Kaplan and drummer Georgia Hubley.

  Yo La Tengo, 'Fade' (Matador)

  January 15, 2013 – When Yo La Tengo release their next album three years or so from now, no reviewer will think to mention Sonic Youth. Despite a shared fascination with how noise and melody can coincide and glance off one another, the similarities that the East Coast's two preeminent indie-rock bands shared were never really musical.

  January 9, 2013 – Fade, the forthcoming 13th album from Hoboken, New Jersey dream-fuzz trio Yo La Tengo, is somewhat curiously titled. Despite the album's mellow vibe, its 10 John McEntire-produced tracks illuminate a range of emotion that suggests singer-guitarist Ira Kaplan, his wife, drummer-vocalist Georgia Hubley, and bassist James McNew are still burning brightly.

  Watch Yo La Tengo's Tree-Loving Time-Lapse Video for 'Fade' Opener 'Ohm'

  December 20, 2012 – Yo La Tengo are tree-huggers. Or, if not huggers, then at least stalkers, who lovingly caress the tree with their eyes and/or camera lenses!

  Aging Rock Gods, Kilt Kanye, Sirvana Raised $50 Million for Sandy Relief

  December 19, 2012 – Hurricane Sandy slammed the East Coast almost two months ago, but musicians are still raking in money for various Sandy-related relief funds. The star-studded (and extremely memorable) 12-12-12 concert — which united Bruce Springsteen, the Rolling Stones, Kanye West, and a Paul McCartney-fronted Nirvana all under the same bill — raised roughly $50 million for victims of the historic storm, The New York Times reports. …

  Watch Yo La Tengo and Real Estate Gently Rock 'Our Way to Fall' Together

  December 13, 2012 – As they're gearing up to release their first album in more than three years, Fade, Hoboken indie godfathers Yo La Tengo are working out some interesting ways to spread the news.
