YO LA TENGO - Old Joy (Official Soundtrack) LP
For the first time on vinyl, Yo La Tengoâs understated, lonesome score to Kelly Reichardtâs classic âOld Joy.â
Recorded in a single afternoon at Yo La Tengoâs studio in Hoboken, Old Joy is a drifting, improvisatory journey, born out of years-long friendship between the band and the filmâs director.
The six instrumental tracks, created in collaboration with legendary guitarist Smokey Hormel, carry that unmistakable Yo La Tengo sound, but delivered in service of another great work of art. The music, like so much of Reichardtâs film work, is low-key yet arresting, stripped down to the essentials, warm and unpretentious. The record includes two variations on the beloved âLeaving Homeâ theme, released for the first time on vinyl after years traveling in Yo La Tengo fan circles.
This music is a balm, remarkably full of emotion despite (or maybe because of) its restraint and minimalism. Originally released on They Shoot, We Score, a CD compiling several of the bandâs soundtracks, Old Joy stands as a cohesive whole here, blooming and rewarding repeat listens. Sliding reverbed guitars, muted piano and percussion, the hum of an old amp - the blurry memory of an afternoon in the studio, or a short-lived road trip through the backwoods of Oregon.
