Professor emeritus Fred Willard works out a Grand Unified Theory of Pop Music when he asks the ontological question, “What is Yo La Tengo“! Okay, sure, we got a glimpse of the extensive computations during Yo La Tengo‘s last video for their track “Ohm,” but here we get to really focus on the minutiae and scintillating quality of thought that Dr. Willard demonstrates in his complex equation!
The video for “Is That Enough” was written and directed by Donick Cary (The Simpsons, Just Shoot Me!), and you can find the cut on the band’s most recent LP Fade out now on Matador Records. Yo La Tengo hit the road later this month, so check out the live dates below…
