Yo La Tengo have revealed their new video for their cover of The Cure’s ‘Friday I’m In Love’ from their new forthcoming album Stuff Like That There, out August 28th on Matador Records. The video which was directed by and whats starts off quite innocently before the giant hearts start arriving turning an everyday moment into a world apocalypse…you’d better just watch it:
The trio of Ira Kaplan, Georgia Hubley and James McNew now return as a quartet, reuniting with former member Dave Schramm on electric guitar as they revisit the original concept of their beloved Fakebook (a mix of cover songs, “covers” of Yo La Tengo songs, and brand new originals) on its 25th anniversary. This unprecedented live set-up — Ira on acoustic guitar, Georgia up-front on a small kit, and James on upright bass — marks the first occasion of this particular Yo La Tengo incarnation touring together (and since it took them 31 years to get around to doing so, could very well also be the last).
