Yo La Tengo and Jad Fair have announced a reissue of their rare 1998 collaborative LP Strange but True. Long out-of-print and unavailable to stream, the album will be released on vinyl, CD, and, for the first time, digital platforms. All versions are set to arrive December 12 via Joyful Noise and Bar/None. Listen to “Texas Man Abducted By Aliens for Outer Space Joyride” below.
The songs on Strange but True are titled after headlines from the periodical Weekly World News, which were gathered by David Fair, Jad Fair’s brother and bandmate in Half Japanese. “When I started as a musician, I just wanted to sound like myself,” Jad Fair said in a press statement. “You would think that would be the easiest thing to do, but, for most people, it’s difficult.”
Yo La Tengo shared their latest studio album, This Stupid World, in 2023. They followed it up with an EP, Old Joy, earlier this year.
