Again in January 2024 Superchunk shared the one “Everyone Dies,” which they adopted up final March with the Rosali-featuring “Bruised Lung.” Right now the indie rock legends have revealed that these two songs shall be on their upcoming thirteenth studio album, which has the nice title Songs In The Key Of Yikes. As one other preview, its opening monitor “Is It Making You Really feel One thing” can also be out now.
Songs In The Key Of Yikes is Superchunk’s first album since 2022’s Wild Loneliness, and in addition their first since longtime drummer Jon Wurster amicably left the band the next 12 months. Laura King, who was Superchunk’s touring drummer after that departure, has now completely joined the fold on Songs In The Key Of Yikes, backing up basic lineup members Mac McCaughan, Laura Ballance, and Jim Wilbur. Of “Is It Making You Really feel One thing,” McCaughan says in a press launch:
This music is about not second-guessing your self within the very second-guessable strategy of writing phrases and music. It’s in regards to the official query of “who wants this and what’s it good for?” but in addition about not setting such a excessive bar for making artwork that you simply by no means get began. “Is it making you are feeling one thing?” OK, that’s a spot to start out.
