Yo La Tengo - "Nothing To Hide"I've been listening to Yo La Tengo for years. I've also been trying to find a song by them that I actually enjoy as much as "Sugar Cube," the first song I'd heard by them approximately five years ago. My search had been mostly unsuccessful up until the release of last year's Popular Songs. It seems that they've finally hit their stride after, what, fifteen years? This is just my opinion, but since moving on from trying to be Dinosaur Jr., Sonic Youth, etc., the Hoboken trio has finally found a sound that works for them, mixing simple noise-pop with their own twist of alternative goodness. Aside from their staggeringly beautiful contribution to last year's Dark Was The Night compilation, this is their greatest song to date, with no argument whatsoever.
