Superchunk – Acoustic Foolish [MARKED DOWN] – New LP

Acoustic Foolish is a re-recording of their 1994 album Foolish. Long considered to be one of the most tender and 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 and contributions. Guest vocals by Jenn Wasner (Wye Oak, Flock of Dimes) and Allison Crutchfield (Swearin’, P.S. Eliot). Owen Pallett (the Mountain Goats, Frank Ocean, Arcade Fire) provides string arrangements while Peter Holsapple (The dB’s, R.E.M.) plays piano and Matt Douglas (the Mountain Goats) is on saxophone.Acoustic Foolish by Superchunk Recorded mainly live in the studio by John Plymale at Overdub Lane.Strings recorded by Owen Pallett.
