Superchunk announce new album, Songs in the Key of Yikes

Superchunk have announced a new album. On August 22, they’ll release Songs in the Key of Yikes via Merge. The first single is “Is It Making You Feel Something.” Hear it below. The band are also touring in 2025. Check out those dates below.

“This song is about not second-guessing yourself in the very second-guessable process of writing words and music,” McCaughan said in a statement. “It’s about the legitimate question of ‘who needs this and what is it good for?’ but also about not setting such a high bar for making art that you never get started. ‘Is it making you feel something?’ Ok, that’s a place to start.”

Superchunk’s What a Time to Be Alive is featured on our list of Our 150 Favorite Indie Rock Albums of the 21st Century. Also, read our Hall of Fame feature on Superchunk’s Here’s Where the Strings Come In.
