#3186 Bardo Pond and Yo La Tengo - Parallelogram

The first sidelong track's a masterpiece, those glorious Tengo guitars, no stranger to endless jams, bring searing clarity to Bardo Pond's waves of noise. The spare breakdown in the middle is breathtaking: everything you want from an epic-length song.

The other side's the castoff sludge-twin, sounding like a mangled, postproduction Neu-fucked version of an already boring b-side. Is this really the second-best thing this collaboration came up with? 3.5/5
