New Yo La Tengo album in September

Matador Records have recently announced the imminent (if you consider September 8th to be imminent that is) arrival of Yo La Tengo album number, er, 12? Regardless, it's entitled 'Popular Songs' and it's hoped that it follows on from the frequent loveliness of 'I Am Not Afraid of You and I Will Beat Your Ass'.
For fans of the Yo La Tengo wig-outs that frequently close out their albums, this news from the Matador site....
"Then fans of Yo La Tengo’s well-established habit of stretching out will be enthralled by the simmering, sultry “More Stars Than There Are in Heaven” and the hypnotic ebbing flow of “The Fireside”, these final two epics totalling 20+ minutes of the most beautiful, obsessive Yo La Tengo music ever put to tape. (The format-savvy may even resolve themselves with the coda di tutti frutti, “And The Glitter Is Gone”

Better yet, there's a sample of what awaits on 'Popular Songs' below.
mp3: 'Periodically Double or Triple'
