Superchunk - Songs In The Key Of Yikes

Label: Merge

Released 8/22/2025

"Bruised Lung.” “No Hope.” “Care Less.” “Climb the Walls.” “Everybody Dies.” Scanning the tracklist of Songs in the Key of Yikes (out August 22, 2025), one is given to wonder: Is Superchunk okay? In a world that’s arguably darker than the one that greeted Wild Loneliness in 2022 or What a Time to Be Alive in 2018, are any of us okay? In seeking an answer, Songs in the Key of Yikes unleashes a sound that is triumphant and bright in the darkness, Majesty Shredding in overdrive. Lead single “Is It Making You Feel Something” sets the tone early with the band—Mac McCaughan, Laura Ballance, Jim Wilbur, and Laura King—building an anthem out of the potential for joy, diving into slop-polluted waters (“now fakes are faking everything / that once made your poor heart sing”) and emerging with a pearl.
