"Sugarcube" was one of three singles pulled from I Can Hear the Heart Beating as One, the eighth studio album Yo La Tengo released on Matador on April 22, 1997; the other two were "Autumn Sweater" and a cover of "Little Honda". Georgia Hubley, Ira Kaplan and James McNew wrote it together, and Roger Moutenot produced it, as he did the rest of the record, cut at House of David in Nashville.
It belongs to an album where the band stretched the guitar pop of Electr-O-Pura out toward bossa nova, krautrock and electronic music, the one critics have tended to call their finest.
