Production

[edit | edit source]

The album was recorded April 21–23, 1991, at the Chicago Recording Company by Steve Albini.[3] It was released on Matador Records in 1991, and reissued by Merge Records in 1999.[4]

Albini is not credited in the liner notes, which read "Produced with eyes closed by Laura, who sat in the right chair." The reference is to Laura Ballance, the group's bassist.[3]

Trouser Press praised the album's "indelible hooks" and Mac McCaughan’s "opaque yet curiously coercive lyric expression."[4] Paste wrote that the album "captures Superchunk at the ideal cross-section of youthful ebullience and clearheaded experience."[13]
