Silver Age (album)

Silver Age is a 2012 studio album by American indie rock band Superchunk. It marks their first album release in nine years, following 2001's Here's to Shutting Up. The album's title is a reference to both the band's return after a prolonged period of inactivity and a commentary on aging within the indie music scene.

The album was recorded at Overdub Lane in Durham, North Carolina, with production handled by the band themselves. Musically, Silver Age is characterized by its energetic, guitar-driven sound, reminiscent of Superchunk's earlier work. The lyrical themes explore topics such as nostalgia, resilience, and the challenges of maintaining relevance in a constantly evolving musical landscape.

Silver Age received generally positive reviews from critics, who praised its infectious energy and songwriting. Several singles were released to promote the album, including "Digging for Something" and "Me & You & Jackie Mittoo." The album helped re-establish Superchunk's presence in the indie rock scene and has been regarded as a successful comeback record.
