Trivia / Superchunk

• Creator Breakdown: Foolish an album featuring lyrics inspired by Mac and Laura breaking up.
• Doing It for the Art: When faced with signing to a major label, they've chosen to stay on Merge, the label Mac and Laura founded to initially release singles, but then used to keep creative control, and eventually Merge grew so much in Indie-esteem that artists like Neutral Milk Hotel and Arcade Fire joined because of the label's pedigree.
• The Other Darrin: For the 2013 tour, Laura was replaced live with Jason Narducy due to her worsening hyperacusis.
• The Pete Best: Jack McCook, who left before the critical breakthrough No Pocky for Kitty, is probably an example of this.
  • Or perhaps Chuck Garrison, who played on but left before the release of Kitty. Ironically, the band were sort of named after him - the phone book mistakenly listed him as "Chunk Garrison", and this became a nickname of his.
