The album, appropriately titled Summer Sun, "finds [the band] exploring the sunny landscapes of summer, in every imaginable mode of music," according to the Matador website. "From the gorgeous 'Little Eyes' to the ten-minute jam 'Let's Be Still', this may be Yo La Tengo's most ambitious album to date." In a post to the official Matador message board yesterday, label Co-President Gerard Cosloy described the record as "a bit all over the musical map. It won't sound entirely out of place alongside And Then Nothing Turned Itself Inside Out... a subtle stylistic shift, I'd say. Swinging stuff."
