For the second of our special 30th anniversary releases from 2019, Superchunk, the band that started it all, surprised us with a new studio album! Acoustic Foolish is a complete re-recording of their classic 1994 album Foolish. Long considered to be one of the most tender and well-received albums in their storied history, the band was interested in re-exploring what the songs mean to them 25 years later. To quote bandleader Mac McCaughan, don’t expect some kinda “acoustic demos recorded 25 years after the fact” thing here… These are new full-band arrangements with contributions from some heavy hitters. Jenn Wasner (Wye Oak, Flock of Dimes) and Allison Crutchfield (Swearin’, P.S. Eliot) contribute guest vocals. Owen Pallett (the Mountain Goats, Frank Ocean, Arcade Fire) provides lush string arrangements, while Peter Holsapple (The dB’s, R.E.M.) plays piano and Matt Douglas (the Mountain Goats) is on saxophone.

A colored vinyl edition of the album was shipped exclusively to subscribers of our Born Under a Good Sign subscription series (not available as a standalone item).

Don't miss the Superchunk AF t-shirts and baby onesies, also available in our store.
