In the pantheon of breakup albums, Superchunk’s Foolish may be indie rock’s apogee. The North Carolina power pop progenitors’ fourth LP plays as brutally melancholy and questioning as it does cathartic and loud, a real-time unraveling of the relationship between frontman Mac McCaughan and bassist Laura Ballance. The quartet survived the split (as did the couple’s nascent indie imprint Merge Records) and now exhumes the critically acclaimed album for a 30th anniversary showcase, as well as cuts from last year’s compilation LP Misfits & Mistakes: Singles, B-Sides & Strays 2007-2023 and new singles “Everybody Dies” b/w “As In a Blender.” – Doug Freeman
