In February 2023, when Yo La Tengo performed "Fallout" live at the KEXP studio in Seattle, they were promoting their latest album, "This Stupid World," which was released just a few weeks prior on February 10, 2023. This album represents the band's continued evolution and showcases their distinctive blend of indie rock and experimental sounds, a hallmark of their extensive career spanning over three decades. An interesting aspect of the recording session is the intimate setting of KEXP, known for its dedication to live music, which allows the band to create a unique connection with the audience. Yo La Tengo is known for their varying setlists and spontaneous performances, often blending their songs with improvisational elements, making each live recording a one-of-a-kind experience. Their adeptness at merging different musical styles was further highlighted during this performance of "Fallout."
