专辑简介：
Ira Kaplan伊拉卡布蓝，Georgia Hubley乔治亚哈布利，James McNew詹姆士麦肯纽，这三人组成的优拉糖果之所以听起来与眾不同，并不是因为他们是偏离主流轨道的冷门份子，而是因为他们本身正是艺术家。
优拉糖果来自纽泽西Hoboken，成军於1984年，团名Yo La Tengo源自纽约大都会队（New York Mets）选手Richie Ashburn在一场棒球比赛中与对手衝撞并接球，接到球后大喊西班牙语「Yo La Tengo！」，也就是英文的「I Got It」（我接到了）的意思。喜爱棒球并为大都会队忠实粉丝的Ira Kaplan与团员，当时正希望取一个避免有任何隐喻与涵义的团名，於是乎「Yo La Tengo」成形，并渐渐茁壮发产出独特的风格。从实验性浓厚的首张作品《Ride the Tiger》（1986）出发，经历《New Wave Hot Dogs》（1987）、《President Yo La Tengo》（1989）两张早期经典，再到蕴含乡村民谣风情的《Fakebook》（1990）；然后自新贝斯手James McNew於《May I Sing with Me》（1992）时期加入后，彷彿成为优拉糖果的分水岭，接连几张《Painful》（1993）、《Electr-O-Pura》（1995）、《I Can Hear the Heart Beating as One》（1997）、《And Then Nothing Turned Itself Inside Out》（2000）一张一张杰出专辑不断将乐团的评价、乐迷基础与声势推展至最高峰，其后更发展出恬淡的Indie Pop小品《Summer Sun》（2003），以及彷彿将优拉糖果各式风格作品作总回顾的《I Am Not Afraid of You and I Will Beat Your Ass》（2006），他们似乎没有失败的嚐试，总能在融合Folk、Rock、Noise Pop、Indie Pop、Electronic、Shoegazing、Country等多种繁复音乐类型中找到平衡，以及最对味的声响。(简介摘自：映象唱片 )
原英文简介：
We have an old saying at Matador HQ, “the only thing predictable about Yo La Tengo albums is their high level of excellence and crazy amount of musical ground covered”. Trouble is, even if you believe we really have an old saying that unwieldly, it doesn’t really do justice in this instance. The new Yo La Tengo CD/2XLP/digital album ‘Popular Songs” (OLE 856-1,2) could be the bravest musical statement to date in a career full of ‘em. Recorded in Hoboken and Nashville in early 2009 with longtime associate Roger Mountenot, ‘Popular Songs’ finds the trio of Georgia Hubley, Ira Kaplan and James McNew at the height of their creative powers, fashioning an epic work that’s cooly confident as it is wildly adventurous.
Even for longtime followers of Yo La Tengo, the stylistic range encompassed on ‘Popular Songs’ is startling ; the band aren’t merely conversant with rock & pop subgenres stretching into the double digits, but their unselfconscious mastery of such is simply uncanny. Without absolving you of the sacred responsibility of listening to this album from start to finish (with no commercial interruptions!) , we can say with full confidence there are portions of ‘Popular Songs’ where a cursory needle drop reveals a band that doesn’t sound instantly like Yo La Tengo — or at least how you recognized them prior to now. In the words of Mike Wolf, “Yo La Tengo is not afraid. They walk confidently forward, into the unknown, hand in hand. And 12 (or 14) albums in, they may just be hitting their stride.”‘
