Album artwork for Acoustic Foolish by Superchunk

The band that started it all, Superchunk, is back with a surprise new studio album! Acoustic Foolish is a complete re-recording of their classic 1994 album, Foolish,. Long considered to be one of their most tender & 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.... This is full-band with new arrangements & contributions from some heavy hitters. Guest vocals are contributed by Jenn Wasner (Wye Oak, Flock of Dimes) & Allison Crutchfield (Swearin', P.S. Eliot). Owen Pallett (Mountain Goats, Frank Ocean, Arcade Fire) provides lush string arrangements while Peter Holsapple (The dB's, REM) plays piano & Matt Douglas (Mountain Goats) is on saxophone.
