Songs In The Key Of Yikes

Description

With Songs in the Key of Yikes, Superchunk returns hotter than ever. The new album is bursting with urgency and lucidity, oscillating between clear-eyed despair and bursts of furious joy. "Is It Making You Feel Something" sets the tone: despite the surrounding chaos, the band is still searching for what makes the heart beat. Led by Mac McCaughan, with Laura Ballance, Jim Wilbur, and Laura King now a full member, the band delivers an album that is as impactful as it is unifying. "No Hope" reiterates the absence of hope... before finding a form of salvation in the very act of singing. Between euphoric punk ("Stuck in a Dream") and biting irony ("Care Less"), Superchunk refuses to retreat. The album also features Rosali Middleman, Bella Quinlan, Holly Thomas (Quivers), and Betsy Wright, in a collective celebration of resistance. Produced by Paul Voran and mixed by Mike Montgomery (The Breeders, Protomartyr), Songs in the Key of Yikes is a visceral and luminous album, an outlet crafted for uncertain times.
