Yo La Tengo

On November 8, 2009, Yo La Tengo performed 'If It's True' at the Roundhouse in London, supported by an impressive 8-piece string section. This performance came just a year after the release of their acclaimed album 'Popular Songs' in 2009, which showcased their versatility and ability to blend distinct musical styles. The band, known for their eclectic sound and innovative live shows, drew from a rich history of lo-fi rock, threading in harmonies and intricate arrangements, making this live experience particularly memorable. Interestingly, the use of a string section highlighted their willingness to experiment and expand their sonic palette, something fans had come to expect from them over the years. This live recording encapsulates a pivotal moment in Yo La Tengo's career where they harmoniously fused indie rock with orchestral elements, creating an engaging and intimate atmosphere at the legendary Camden venue.
