The glass bottom boat of the cultural press
Still popping along with the indie rock hits, Superchunk give us a very cute looking 7” that could almost be mistaken for a Gaze release. The cuteness stops at the cover, though, and the needle loves the rhythm. It’s pogo like it’s 1996 rock and roll straight outta Chapel Hill. Good production, clean guitar, strong rhythm section, high back of throat vocals… super. Super what? Superchunk!
