Superchunk

Superchunk returned in 2010 with their first new album in almost ten years and those ten years have allowed them to create without a doubt the best record of their career. It's the sound of youthful exuberance fine-tuned with grown-up confidence. Superchunk as always strike a unique and effortless balance between melody and force, craft and spontaneity, the energy of youth and the wisdom of experience. In a year when indie-rock has had a major resurgence with the likes of Surfer Blood, et al, and Les Savy Fav have regularly been covering the band's classic "Precision Auto" at the end of their sets, it makes sense that Superchunk have returned to claim their rightful position at the forefront of thoughtful, intelligent independent rock music.
