lyrics

Lock up the shop know when to stop if all the work is done. Beat the clock dawn to dusk ‘til all the rides close down. Orange neon glowing on the boardwalk, it’s deserted on a Friday night. There goes the sun, summer’s almost gone, come on I’ll keep you warm. A siren song, but one I’ve heard before. Let’s go, I’ll take you home. Stay inside, the rusted signs and broken lights, door’s closed. Shutting down this postcard town until the natives show. Lonely faces staring from the sidewalk, they were younger in a different time.

Me and my friend used to go on drives all the time, and a lot of the time i asked what he was playing, and a majority of the songs were from Yo La Tengo. And since i went and listened to And Then Nothing Turned Itself Inside-Out i was fan. Never thought i’d buy one of their records for myself. violetstain

Up there with Joe's best -- it feels like it pulls from every record he's done before while still being completely distinct from any Cymbals record in the way it combines the psychedelia and accessibility with some of the lushest, most ornately arranged music I've heard. Plus the guitars still rock, the solos fucking slap, and the ballads somehow slap just as hard. The narrative based lyrics also hit a sweet spot in Joe's lyricism -- direct but inventive, descriptive and endlessly compelling. Emmanuel Castillo
