Yo La Tengo is an indie rock band with a cult following; unfortunately they do not receive the exposure they deserve. The band has been creating music for many years, having formed in 1986. Over the years the band went through many changes; from record label changes to band member swaps. By 1997 the stars seem to have aligned upon the release of their LP, I Can Hear the Heart Beating as One. This album effectively blew people away with the depth and artistry created in this record. The album is a compilation of multiple genres, including: distorted garage punk rock, shoegaze, electronic, and folk. The reaction of critics to this album is what bands dream of when they are in the process of creating an album. Pitchfork gave the album a 9.7 out of 10, and Stephen Thomas Erlewine, a reviewer for AllMusic, wrote that this album was "arguably Yo La Tengo's finest and most coherent album to date." 'Autumn Sweater' is a relaxing song in which the band utilizes an organ with a simple, yet ideal, drum beat to create a song which will last through the ages. 'Green Arrow' is an instrumental song sounds like a the theme song of a beautiful summer night. The light drums and the cricket noises combine to form a chill song. 'Green Arrow' is similar in sound to many of the tracks on Broken Social Scene's debut album, Feel Good Lost.I Can Hear the Heart Beating as Oneis an album which helped to define indie music and is frequently spun on the home turntable.
