The quartet is marking the 25th anniversary of the band’s Fakebook album by revisiting the concept on the new LP, Stuff Like That There, due out Aug. 28 on Matador Records. That means you’ll get originals tunes along with covers songs and new renditions of Yo La Tengo tunes.

Pre-orders of Stuff Like That There come with a tote bag including a 2015 cassingle with new unreleased songs and “mystery Stuff.”  

The world tour features an unprecedented live set-up with Kaplan on acoustic guitar, Hubley on a small drum kit, McNew on upright bass and Schramm on electric guitar.
