Superchunk - Wild Loneliness

NEW VINYL LP ON MERGE 2022

180 GRAM VINYL.

Wild Loneliness was recorded at home in North Carolina during lockdown and mixed by Wally Gagel (Here’s Where the Strings Come In). The striking visual on the front cover arrives from a piece titled Playhouse Goat by acclaimed photographer Farah Al Qisimi. In addition to McGinley and Blake, the album features guest spots from Sharon Van Etten, R.E.M.’s Mike Mills, Wye Oak’s Andy Stack, Tracyanne Campbell of Camera Obscura, Owen Pallett, Kelly Pratt, and Franklin Bruno. We gave an advance listen of the new album to poet and Superchunk fan Maggie Smith; here’s what she wrote.
