Acoustic Foolish

Superchunk

A warm, chamber-pop reimagining of the band's 1994 landmark breakup album. Stripped of its original punk fury, it glows with acoustic guitars and lush strings.

A warm, reflective look back at youth and heartbreak, softened by twenty-five years of perspective.

Moments Worth Listening For
The delicate entry of Owen Pallett's string arrangements on 'Like a Fool', transforming a once-jagged punk anthem into a sweeping chamber ballad.
Jenn Wasner's warm backing vocals on 'Keeping Track', which soften the edges of Mac McCaughan's signature nasal delivery.
The unexpected, soulful swell of Matt Douglas's saxophone on 'Saving My Ticket', adding a jazz-inflected warmth entirely absent from the 1994 original.
Where This Album DepartsEach spoke is a trait. The orange shape shows where this album pulls away from — or holds to — the rest of the artist’s catalogue. Tap for more.
