CD DetailsSynopsis
Album Description The solo project of Mac McCaughan, known for his work in Superchunk and as co-owner of Merge Records. The latest in a long series of seminal recordings from one of indie rock's most distinguished and prolific songwriters, and the first proper Portastatic full-length since 1997's The Nature of Sap. Far from lo-fi, it's a fully realized musical statement. Guests include Janet Weiss (Sleater-Kinney, Quasi), Tony Crow (Lambchop), Margaret White (Sparklehorse, North Elementary), Matthew McCaughan, Aaron Oliva, and John Plymale. 12 tracks. 2003.

CD ReviewsA very good CD by a very underrated songwriter Zachary E Topel | Silver Spring, Maryland United States | 04/18/2003 (4 out of 5 stars) "This is the album where Portastatic officially became Mac McCaughan's "first" band and no longer a side-project, and it shows. Portastatic's first 3 CD releases were either very lowfi or experimental. And although I really liked all 3, it is nice to hear a Portastatic album that is "full-band". There are some definite stand-out tracks here (namely Oh Come Down, In the Lines, Chesapeake, Noisy Night). But seriously, is there ever a bad song on a McCaughan release? He's so consistent that he's actually been criticized for it. In my opinion, this is the best CD he has made this decade. So quit being cheap & pick this up."
