Merge (2019)
This split 7" came along with the acoustic Superchunk album AF as part of the Merge 30th subscription series. Born Under A Good Sign has been pretty scattershot for me personally. While I realize I haven't subscribed to a series of Superchunk records, I do wish I liked more of the bands that have had records be part of this subscription.
Gauche is kind of middle of the road, jangly guitar rock. It's mid tempo and mid good. I don't really like the vocals much at all, though they are the only thing that really stands out when you listen to the song. Unfortunately, they don't stand out in a good way.
Joyero is even less up my alley. "Evacuate" is built off of synth sounding 80s electronic drum beats and strained, reverb drenched vocals. I don't listen to New Order, but they are who I thought of when this song was playing. Except this Joyero is even slower and more forgettable. Hey, at least there was a Superchunk record in this package.
