As near as I can tell this is the first thing Mac of Superchunk ever released as Portastatic. It mostly sounds like his previous work with Bricks at this point, only he's totally by himself (outside of Jim Wilbur, also of Superchunk, adding some guitar to the last song "Dragging a Crow") - lots of jangly acoustic guitar and reverb on the vocals (and everything else). All good, enjoyable songs, but the highlight would have to be the cover of the Undertones' classic "Teenage Kicks."
