The Story
LABEL: Mississippi Records
VINYL RELEASE DATE: 02/28/2025
ALBUM RELEASE DATE: 02/28/2025
VARIANT: Transparent Pink Vinyl LP
For the first time on vinyl, Yo La Tengo's understated, lonesome score to Kelly Reichardt's classic "Old Joy." The six instrumental tracks, created in collaboration with legendary guitarist Smokey Hormel, carry that unmistakable YLT sound-but delivered in service of another great work of art. The music, like so much of Reichardt's film work, is low-key yet arresting, stripped down to the essentials, warm and unpretentious. The record includes two variations on the beloved "Leaving Home" theme, released for the first time on vinyl after years traveling in YLT fan circles. Originally released on They Shoot, We Score, a CD compiling several of the band's soundtracks, Old Joy stands as a cohesive whole here, blooming and rewarding repeat listens.
TRACKLIST
1 Leaving Home

3 Path to Springs
4 Driving Home
5 End Credits
6 Leaving Home - Alternate Version
