Superchunk has been pumping out so many great singles the last few years it's about time for a fourth singles comp so I can listen to these things in an efficient fashion. The title track is very catchy, and features Fucked Up singer Damian Abraham on guest vocals during the chorus. His voice is so gruff it kinda doesn't fit in the composition, but I still like it and I'm not sure if this is in spite of or because of Abraham's contribution. The b-side, "Total Eclipse," is a cover of a Klaus Nomi song from his 1981 self-titled record. The cover sounds nothing like the original electro dance pop classic outside of the same basic song structure - 'Chunk definitely make it their own. Will be interesting to see if they ever play it live - despite their love of covers, the only one they seem to regularly include in their set is "100,000 fireflies" by Magnetic Fields.
