Superchunk
Majesty Shredding
Merge
Releasing: 14 September
Considering that Superchunk pretty much churned out an album a year during the 1990s, it’s hard to believe that the quintessential power-punk band has basically been on hiatus since 2001’s Here’s to Shutting Up. In some ways, though, it hardly seems like they’ve gone anywhere, since the band’s mainstays Laura Ballance and Mac McCaughan seem ever-present building their label Merge from a respected indie into a cultural phenomenon in the interim. From the looks and sounds of the one-minute video trailer promoting the new album, Majesty Shredding, Superchunk might be headed back to the basics after leaving off with forays into a more mature sound, at least relatively speaking. Hear what could’ve been this summer’s soundtrack in the fall when Majesty Shredding is released on September 14 by—who else?—Merge.
