At album number 13, Yo La Tengo are an institution unto themselves, having perfected their craft of slow-burning, unassumingly insular indie rock in incremental baby steps since their formation in 1984. Almost three decades of building a language of wistfully melodic guitar rock without becoming redundant is no small feat, and Fade rises to the unique challenge by striking a middle ground between new territory and recalling YLT's finest hours. Fade is the first album for the band not recorded with producer Roger Moutenot, who had worked with the group on everything they put to tape since their 1993 breakthrough, Painful.

This band from the Adirondack Mountains of Upstate New York plays music that boogies, shuffles, rocks and burns with incendiary guitar playing and tone as big as the Texas Plains. The rhythm section lays down infectious grooves as if they have one mind…

Fade To Blue is the sixteenth CD release for guitarist Mike Pachelli. Having covered many genres in the past, Fade To Blue is an amalgamation of Pachelli’s many musical styles, including blues, jazz and rock. The CD features Kevin McKendree (B3), Rich Russo (drums) and Baba Elefante (bass), each carrying an impressive resume on their own accord. Fade To Blue is a concept album and was recorded the old fashion way: with musicians actually in the same room playing together. Mike elaborates on this, “The album represents what the group does live. We usually start off bluesy with a hint of jazz, then we rock the crowd, give them a bit of funk and try to leave the audience wanting more.”
