"Autumn Sweater" comes from I Can Hear the Heart Beating as One, Yo La Tengo's 1997 album, written by Georgia Hubley, Ira Kaplan and James McNew, with Kaplan taking the lead vocal. Roger Moutenot produced it and sat in on bongos.
It's Yo La Tengo in a tender mood, a song that feels like a secret told in a dim room, warm and a little nervous at the same time.
