Come on, let's (po)go

Another old favorite makes a return. Superchunk come roaring back after nearly a decade of musical silence, except of course for building that powerhouse of a label (or at least a semi-functional business model, I'm told) — Merge Records.

This is a feel-good comeback. Who didn't like Superchunk? Nerdy indie rockers triumphantly rocking in their cool, no-fuss fashion. You saw them in college, and you jumped around and loved it, and then you went home to listen to more challenging music, though
with a lot less joy.

They have a new album, and it sounds exactly like...them. In fighting trim. Which is great. You do what you do and you do it right. Yessir. Here's one to make you jump around like the big happy dork you still are.

Sloth love Superchunk

Sorry. You probably know by now that the more egregious the pun, the less I can resist. Nothing slothy about Superchunk though. And Songblague does in fact love them. I don't think you can have any fondness for '90s indie rock and not turn an affectionate smile in their direction. It's like watching a kid sitting on top of a fire engine, pretending to drive. With the helmet on and everything. Just too sweet. Hope your weekend is filled with a similar sweetness. And loud guitars.
