Superchunk have announce a new 7″, featuring two songs cut from the sessions which resulted in 2022’s Wild Loneliness LP. Everything Hurts b/w Making a Break is due out 24 Feb 2023 via Merge Records, and they’ve released the A-side track, “Everything Hurts, for your listening pleasure.
Mac McCaughan says about the two songs:
We recorded 2022’s Wild Loneliness at home over the course of a few months during lockdown. In keeping with the theory that ten songs is the perfect length for a record, we had to take off a couple songs that fit thematically—who doesn’t have days when everything hurts or you feel like making a break for it?—but musically couldn’t find a spot on Wild Loneliness. Perhaps because they are more traditionally “Superchunk”-sounding than the rest of the LP (“Everything Hurts” could be from Come Pick Me Up, and “Making a Break” has What a Time to Be Alive energy)? Who knows! So here are these misfits from the Wild Loneliness sessions, recorded at home in Chapel Hill and mixed by Wally Gagel in LA.
The album will be available via the usual streaming services but, for now, you can preorder it digitally, or on limited edition 7″ pink vinyl over at the Superchunk Bandcamp page.
