The Band Next Door
On this self titled debut album Superchunk are caught in their formative years. Slightly past the 'hey look we can play our own instrument's' phase but yet to truly find their own sound. The influences, all flashes from the last twenty years of punk and inde rock that proceeded it, the Stooges ...

Hello, Hawk1 review
Superchunk
Merge Records, 1999
Gosh. I don't know.
This is the first 'chunk I've heard since Indoor Living, and I'm still getting used to the band's new laid-back approach and Mac's new vocal style. If you liked Indoor Living then you'll probably like Hello Hawk. Hawk itself has a string section (here's where the strings *really* come in) and ...

Detroit has a skyline, too
+ Where's my rev iew?
Like many singles, this one features a fine title track; it rocks, there's nothing wrong with it; but the real reason to buy it is the B side (or I should say the C side), the yearning, achingly beautiful acoustic version of Detroit Has A Skyline. Brings back memories even if you've never heard ...

Chapel Hill is alive with the sound of Music !
+ A SINGLE SUPERCHUNK
Superchunk! What more can be said? Ok, Mower is a grungy tune that I believe can be about People who are so obsessed with themselves and their life that they actually miss life, or maybe its about how people take the earth for granted and destroy something that is so beautiful? Maybe its a ...

Tossing Seeds (Singles 89-91)6 reviews
Superchunk
Merge Records, 1993
A great early collection form a band that's still great
+ More than just "Slack"
+ fantastic 7-inch collection
I would recommend this to anyone who likes powerful, funny, indie-guitar music. This is a great collection of early singles form a band that continues to be vital and creative. The songs range from good to great but the great ones--like "Slack M-F" and the staggering anthem, "What Do I"--are as ...

First Part1 review
Superchunk
Merge Records, 1994
Superchunk is good for you.
I first heard 'the first part' (the last part is the best part, paradoxically, and they seem to be singing about that... but who cares? If you buy a superchunk CD what you want to hear is multiple guitars flying around your head) on MTV's 120 minutes. At the end of the video I remember them ...

The Superchunk single to buy if you've only got the albums
Superchunk have released a number of acoustic versions of their songs, and every one is a gem. The reason being that, rather than simply perform the songs exactly the same as originally recorded but unplugged, they play around a little with tempos, arrangements,and percussion. This ep gives you ...

laughter guns vs. frog-red knees
"Watery Hands" has come to be one of my favorite songs, and if you don't have "Indoor Living" I would implore you to buy this single. Mac's lyrics for this song are about as good as they come, and repeated listenings to the music reveal countless layers. I love it so much! The other two songs ...

Late-Century Dream1 review
Superchunk
Merge Records, 2001
As good as ever.
Has Mac been taking voice lessons? He sounds better than usual on the album track here. As is the case with most Superchunk singles, this will be worth adding to your collection due to the superb extra tracks. "The Length of Las Ramblas" is a mellow, drumless, synthed-up crooner, and "Becoming a ...
