Yo La Tengo @ Prospect Park

I just love NY in the summer time. So many outdoor free shows. Tonight, Prospect Park darlings Yo La Tengo provide the score to a collection of underwater documentaries by Jean Painlevé, that were surreal and visually engaging. I wasn’t sure if it would work but the band leaned towards their jammy experimental side to flow more in line with the movies. The place was PACKED and didn’t get a good feel for the music because I was so far away but at times they were a great compliment to what was going on screen. I’ll be more excited to see the Alloy Orchestra score Hitchcock’s film next Friday though.
