Here's Where the Strings Come In (Remastered)

On HERE'S WHERE THE STRINGS COME IN, Superchunk finally slows down enough to allow the audience to steal a peek behind the wall of guitars and hear Mac McCaughan's lyrics float comfortably above the mix. The actual content of the songs has always mattered less to Superchunk than the setting of a mood. This album takes the usual Superchunk combination of boyish charm and regret to new extremes. Whether sarcastic ('Here's Where the Strings Come In'), yearning ('Detroit Has a Skyline'), or simply hyper ('Hyper Enough'), Superchunk packs more complexity into one song than anyone working within the indie pop genre. With this effort, Superchunk didn't merely slow down, but clarified its vision.
