Covers Album Stuff Like That There Out August 28th Via Matador Records.

One classic indie rock band covering another? Yes, please! Legendary New Jersey experimental indie rockers Yo La Tengo have covered ‘Friday, I’m In Love’, the classic track by legendary gothic post-punks The Cure. The track is set to feature on Stuff Like That There, Yo La Tengo’s follow up to their seminal covers album Fakebook. Theset will be released on August 28th so keep your old meaty life viewers peeled for that.

The track is not exactly a straight up cover. Yo La Tengo have taken the euphoric romance of the original and distilled that into a lilting acoustic paean to love. Check out the apocalyptic video for ‘Friday I’m In Love’ above. On the record they also cover ‘Automatic Doom’ by Special Pillow, and have remade ‘Deeper Into Movies’ from 1997 album I Can Hear The Heart Beating As One. Listen to them below.
