Superchunk are set to release their 13th studio album, "Songs in the Key of Yikes," on August 22. The band has shared a new track, "Is It Making You Feel Something," which addresses the challenges of artistic expression. Bandleader Mac McCaughan emphasizes the importance of starting art without overthinking its purpose. The album features the new song along with tracks like "Everybody Dies" and "Bruised Lung" and sees contributions from various artists. Superchunk will also embark on a tour following the album's release.
"This song is about not second-guessing yourself in the very second-guessable process of writing words and music," said Mac McCaughan. "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."
Along with "Is It Making You Feel Something," Songs in the Key of Yikes will include Superchunk's recent songs "Everybody Dies" and "Bruised Lung". McCaughan is joined on the new album by bassist Laura Ballance, guitarist Jim Wilbur, and drummer Laura King.
