Transparent Pink Vinyl. For the first time on vinyl, Yo La Tengo's understated, lonesome score to Kelly Reichardt's classic "Old Joy." Recorded in a single afternoon at YLT's studio in Hoboken, Old Joy is a drifting, improvisatory journey, born out of years-long friendship between the band and the film's director. The six instrumental tracks, created in collaboration with legendary guitarist Smokey Hormel, carry that unmistakable YLT sound, but delivered in service of another great work of art. The music, like so much of Reichardt's film work, is low-key yet arresting, stripped down to the essentials, warm and unpretentious. The record includes two variations on the beloved "Leaving Home" theme, released for the first time on vinyl after years traveling in YLT fan circles. This music is a balm, remarkably full of emotion despite (or maybe because of) its restraint and minimalism.
