13th Floor New Song Of The Day: Yo La Tengo – Bleeding

0

Whoo-hoo! Here’s another new tune from our old friends from New Jersey, Yo La Tengo.

The song is Bleeding and it is taken from their upcoming Sleepless Night EP. Here the record company blurb with more:

Today, Yo La Tengo share a second song from their forthcoming EP, Sleepless Night. “Bleeding” is the record’s standalone original composition, a windswept ballad where delicate guitar melodies give way to cyclonic fuzz. The five-song record will also feature covers of songs by The Byrds, The Delmore Brothers, Bob Dylan, Ronnie Lane, and The Flying Machine.

The tracks on Sleepless Night were initially released as one side of an LP included within a limited-edition catalogue (published by LACMA and DelMonico Books/Prestel) for the LACMA exhibition, Yoshitomo Nara, the first international retrospective for the Japanese artist Yoshitomo Nara (b. 1959). A longtime YLT fan, Nara worked in collaboration with the group — Georgia Hubley, Ira Kaplan, and James McNew — to choose the EP’s songs.

This Matador version of the EP is a single-sided 12” with original cover art by Nara, a drawing of the band by Hubley, and an illustration by McNew etched on the record’s flip.
