Artist YACHTTitle Shangri-La
Label DFA
Shangri-La keeps things fairly light and upbeat, with plenty of memorable, chanted vocal hooks and a satisfying mixture of live and sequenced instrumentation.
Artist Yamantaka (Polaris)Title Sonic Titan
Label
From Pitchfork : On their album the duo draw inspiration from their respective Asian-Canadian upbringings as they "negotiate clashes between dominant cultures and those who are oppressed" by fusing Western and Eastern sounds. Like stoner-rock imaginings of Chinese opera and flower-child psychedelia, the music blends philosophies of Buddhism, meditation, and mantra with the band’s love of extreme sounds like black metal, industrial, and noise. Their name, for example, pins a reference to the Buddhist deity Yamantaka with a song title from doom metal band Sleep’s Dopesmoker. Alaska says their ideal sound would "take Iron Butterfly and the Melvins and put them together."

Artist YANN TIERSENTitle Skyline
Label MUTE
Skyline is Yann Tiersen’s seventh studio album, and sees Tiersen taking a confident step forward, cementing the sound of its darker sister, the critically acclaimed Dust Lane, which was released almost exactly 12 months previously.
Says Tiersen, “Strangely while Skyline musically comes across as lighter and happier than Dust Lane the subject matter is somewhat darker - there is certainly a sense of moving on and what thoughts are left having dealt with loss”.

Artist Yo La TengoTitle I am Not Afraid Of You And I Will Beat Your Ass
Label Matador
This has everything that ever made Yo La Tengo great, but elevated to new heights, from the remarkable orchestral chamber piece "Black Flowers" to the garage-punk rave-up "Watch Out For Me Ronnie." If there’s one constant about Yo La Tengo, it’s that this famously restless band continues to broaden its horizons.
An album that delights in being an album. This is no mere loud followed by soft merry-go-round, but a subtle parade. Bookended by very different but equally intense ten-minute-plus guitar epics, the set has dramatic arcs that don’t all build in expected ways.
[120g LP includes MP3]
Artist Yo La TengoTitle And Then Nothing Turned Itself Inside Out
Label Matador
Artist Yo La TengoTitle Electr-O-Pura
Label Matador
‘Electr-O-Pura’, Yo La Tengo’s seventh studio album, found the band in livelier and more outwardly enthusiastic form; while they had hardly abandoned their more subdued and contemplative side, as evidenced by the lovely ‘The Hour Grows Late’ and ‘Pablo And Andrea’, they seemed eager to once again explore the grittier textures they’d unearthed on ‘President Yo La Tengo’ and ‘May I Sing With Me’ with tunes like the gleefully manic ‘False Ending’ and the bizarre horn-blasted ‘Attack On Love’.
[120g LP includes MP3]
Artist Yo La TengoTitle Fade (14.1.13)
Label Matador
Available as CD and INDIES only LP+ 7"
Artist Yo La TengoTitle Popular Songs
Label Matador
With a long and varied career at the forefront of alternative American rock music, the ever-inventive Yo La Tengo’s twelfth album delivers more of the same. The band’s kaleidoscopic rock palette continues to progress with songs such as ’Periodically Double Or Triple’ showing that, though they honour their stylistic roots, they are not afraid of challenging themselves. Working, as ever, with their trusted producer Roger Moutenot, ’Popular Songs’ takes the concept of the title and flips it on its head in a way only Yo La Tengo can.
Artist Susumu YokotaTitle Kaleidoscope
Label Lo Recordings
Susumu Yokota, one of the constant innovators in electronic music is back with a new album. Possibly the deepest most satisfying Yokota album yet.
Artist James YorkstonTitle Folk Songs
Label Domino
Artist James YorkstonTitle I Was a Cat From A Book
Label Domino
Peculiarly-titled release from the Scottish folkie, his fifth "proper" full-length studio album. Produced by Yorkston and Dave Wrench, recorded mostly live at Bryn Derwen Studios in North Wales, and features members of Lamb and The Cinematic Orchestra in the band. It sees Yorkston turn in another collection of gentle, intimate indie-folk which has been called his "strongest and most bewildering set of songs yet".
[2x10" vinyl includes MP3s]

Title After The Gold Rush
Label reprise
Title American Stars n Bars
Label Reprise
Artist Neil Young & Crazy HorseTitle Americana
Label Reprise
Reuniting with his band Crazy Horse for their first album together in some nine years, Neil Young puts his own wild stamp on the notion of Americana with a set of classic folk tunes, including versions of "Tom Dooley" and "Wayfarin’ Stranger," among others, even stretching the term a bit with a version of the Silhouettes’ 1958 doo wop hit "Get a Job."
Title Are You Passionate?
Label WEA
Artist Neil YoungTitle Chrome Dreams 2
Label Reprise
Artist Neil YoungTitle Dreamin Man Live 1992
Label Reprise
Although 2009’s Neil Young Archives campaign focused on the early years of his career, ’Dreamin’ Man’ jumps to 1992 and presents live acoustic versions of all the songs that would go on to make up his most revered nineties album, the reflective ’Harvest Moon’. Despite being dubbed the "Godfather Of Grunge", Young characteristically changed direction during this era, swapping the warts and all, electric assault of Crazy Horse on 1990’s ’Ragged Glory’ for an acoustically driven, but equally heartfelt exploration of themes and sounds previously explored on 1972’s ’Harvest’ and 1978’s ’Come A Time’.
