Superchunk

The Chapel Hill indie rock band whose Here's Where the Strings Come In (1995) opens with "Hyper Enough".

Chapel Hill

Superchunk formed in Chapel Hill in 1989 and is described as energetic, high-velocity and strongly DIY. The original line-up was Mac McCaughan on guitar and vocals, Laura Ballance on bass and backing vocals, Chuck Garrison on drums and Jack McCook on guitar. The name began as Chunk, from a misspelling of Garrison's name found in a phone book, and Super was added to avoid confusion with a New York jazz band.

No Pocky for Kitty was recorded by Steve Albini and Come Pick Me Up was produced by Jim O'Rourke at Electrical Audio. Here's Where the Strings Come In came out on Merge on September 19, 1995, and its first single, "Hyper Enough", opens it at 3:31. The collection Incidental Music 1991-95 gathers rarities, and the Clambakes Series of live albums includes Volume 3, recorded at Cat's Cradle on July 23, 1999 and released in 2004.
