I Can Hear the Heart Beating as One
''I Can Hear the Heart Beating as One'' is the eighth studio album by the American indie rock band Yo La Tengo, released on April 22, 1997, by Matador Records. It was produced by Roger Moutenot and recorded at House of David in Nashville, Tennessee. The album expands the guitar-based pop of its predecessor ''Electr-O-Pura'' to encompass a variety of other music genres, including bossa nova, krautrock, and electronic music. Most of the songs on the album deal with melancholy emotions and range from short and fragile ballads to long and open-ended dissonance.
Upon release, ''Beating as One'' reached number 19 on the ''Billboard''s Heatseekers Albums chart, becoming the first Yo La Tengo album to enter the charts. Three songs from the album, "Autumn Sweater", "Sugarcube", and the cover "Little Honda", were released as singles. The album received considerable acclaim from music critics, who praised the band's ability to successfully expand the boundaries of nearly any pop style. The album is widely regarded as the band's best work and is frequently included on several publications' best album lists. In 2010, ''Rolling Stone'' placed it at number 86 on its list of 100 Best Albums of the Nineties.
==Background and recording==
''I Can Hear the Heart Beating as One'' is the follow-up to Yo La Tengo's highly acclaimed 1995 album ''Electr-O-Pura'', which was ranked at number 9 in ''The Village Voice''s 1995 Pazz & Jop critics' poll.〔 ''Electr-O-Pura'' marked a new creative direction for the band.〔 According to singer and guitarist Ira Kaplan, "I think after ''Electr-O-Pura'' we've had a direction of trying not to worry too hard about what the next album is going to sound like () we just write a bunch of songs, and then go one baby step at the time and just do what seems right."〔 At the time, Kaplan also explained that the lyrics used to come last: "What will really happen is somebody will start playing and we'll all fall in and play for a long time. We'll finish playing an hour later and kinda say, 'Oh, do you remember what you did?' Then we'll write something down—or maybe we won't."〔
''Beating as One'' was recorded at House of David in Nashville, Tennessee and produced by Roger Moutenot, who also produced the band's previous two albums.〔 Kaplan described the recording sessions of the album as follows: "We hole up in a room and work for a really long time. Then we come out and blink our eyes because it's sunny out".〔 Initially, the band did not intend to write a long album, but eventually felt that having a long album was the only way to accommodate the instrumental track "Spec Bebop", which the band felt it needed to be included in the album "by hook or by crook".〔 ''Beating as One'' is the only Yo La Tengo album that was recorded on an ADAT magnetic tape format, even though it was mixed to analog later.〔 Audio mixing took place at Big House and Magic Shop in New York City.〔
