Later, at 10:15, Music-167: The Band, a group consisting exclusively of Harvard students, took the stage to give an unusual performance, inspired by the music class, “Music 167: Electro-Acoustic Composition,” which the group of six is currently taking. The band??s disjointed set included a variety of seemingly mismatched musical instruments that ranged from a classical violin to the primitive, rhythmic pounding of a fist (this same fist seconds before had also gracefully danced on a laptop’s keyboard...

Although no one in the group sang, two members of the band occasionally interrupted the languid, drawn-out notes of the violin and base with readings of passages of Italo Calvino’s book, Invisible Cities. Perhaps too obscurely poetic to be fully grasped or even enjoyed, the band??s bizarre music, nevertheless, had a calming, almost hypnotic quality, which sadly was periodically obliterated by intentionally jarring outbursts of radio static. There is no need to say that the band continuously kept its audience guessing for what would come next...

...lost love to a “sound echoed everywhere like a buzzing amplifier burning through the air.” It’s worth noting that the liner notes sorely lack a lyric sheet; instead, we get two essays, one of which comically describes the band??s no-show at a nudist colony...

...limited edition version of “Prisoners of Love” also features a third disc featuring outtakes and rarities of the band??s catalog throughout the years. The unreleased material is meager, made up of rambling rough cuts of the refined Yo La Tengo melodies. The rarities, on the other hand, are consistently on par with their album tracks, most notably with a jagged cover of noise legends Dead C.’s “Bad Politics” and a remix of “Autumn Sweater” by Kevin Shields that...
