Strange But True pairs Jad Fair's surreal tabloid-inspired narratives with Yo La Tengo's spontaneous, shape-shifting accompaniment. Recorded in 1994 and 1996, its compact songs move through jangle, post-punk, drone, acoustic oddity and flashes of noisy improvisation.
This 2025 Joyful Noise CD edition presents the complete 22-track collaboration, originally released in 1998.
