Yo La Tengo

As beloved an indie-rock institution as Hoboken has ever spat out, Yo La Tengo combines compendious knowledge of rock & roll, easygoing improvisation and homespun melodicism. Its latest triumph, There’s a Riot Going On, is both compositionally adventurous—pieced together from long, roaming jam sessions—and radically warm and welcoming. The album's ambient sounds, whispered lyrics and dreamy textures will go over well at this waterborne concert aboard the Liberty Belle.
