Free Music Review: Here's where you take out your wallet...
Hit: 5 Stars

This album represents a turning point for the band. Long time 'chunk fans point to the lo-fi abandon of No Pocky for Kitty or Foolish as the pinnacle of Superchunk's impressive 15 year (and counting???) arc. However, for my money, this album combines the frenetic pogo hopping style (Hyper Enough comes to mind) of their early albums with the more hypnotic, pensive sound (Eastern Terminal) that will emerge on later albums. This is a strong album from start to finish, one that I return to time and time again. It's a great place to start your collection because the band's past and future are echoed so well.

Here's Where the Strings Come In Poster

In their two previous releases, Superchunk seemed to suffer from a lack of direction. Their newfound musical maturity had them abandoning the catchy anthems of their early records and smoothing out all their jagged edges and lovable imperfections. With Here's Where the Strings Come In, however, they've finally found a happy medium. This infectiously lively release has the punch of No Pocky for Kitty and the deeper lyrics and more complex musical arrangements of Foolish and On the Mouth. The band doesn't need to rely on the simplistic three-chord explosions that used to be its trademark; instead, it has focused its musical energy on creating mature, moody guitar pop that, while not lacking in passion, is expressive in a wider variety of ways. Guitarist/vocalist Mac McCaughan has written some fine songs on Here's Where the Strings Come In, and he convincingly delivers them in that perpetually adolescent wail that still cracks when strained. Though some of the tunes are serious and angst-ridden, rarely does the pace drag, and the midtempo monotony that plagued some previous albums is thankfully absent. Though it may not have the same pogo-inspiring energy of No Pocky, this Superchunk album is a nice compromise between their hyperpunk beginnings and their later, more introspective buzz pop groove. --Adem Tepedelen
