Superchunk have been around for so long that I bet they first tried to call it a maxisingle. There are five tracks. “Learned to Surf” leads off and should remind you of Superchunk of yore. They’ve aged a bit. They almost sound a bit tired in the vocals, but the accompaniment is full of energy and proves that you can recreate the 1990s sound without being boring.
“Misfits & Mistakes” offers more of the same. Maybe it’s a little better. “Screw It Up” is a lot better. Every track on this EP is worth a listen, really.
“Knock Knock Knock” maintains the same trend: Mac McCaughan seems a little tired, but musically the track is superb.
The last track is the acoustic demo of “Learned to Surf.” Back in the proverbial day we called this “Unplugged.” It sounds better than the juiced up version, but really these are minor quibbles. We should be so lucky to have any new Superchunk to listen to at all!
