I’ve been revisiting some music I had in my hard drive and this 2006 album struck me for its diversity and experimentalism throughout. I’m talking about the album (with a huge title) I Am Not Afraid of You and I Will Beat Your Ass, by the American band Yo La Tengo. The two sample tracks below are available on their website and show pretty well the diversity that’s part of the album, from quite noisy and edgy to mellow and playful. Give it a listen!
