"Superchunk's distinctively high-strung fuzz pop leaned into dissonance, speed, and righteous anger on their agitated, punky 2018 album What a Time to Be Alive. Twelfth studio album Wild Loneliness reverses course, exploring a wider range of instrumentation, textures, and songwriting choices without losing any of the power the band exhibits in their more explosive moments. Their signature melodic sensibility is still instantly recognizable, but instead of overdriven guitars doing the heavy lifting, acoustic guitars high in the mix are the driving force behind most of the songs ... Wild Loneliness shows Superchunk still evolving and reaching for new expressions, even decades into a well-established style ... One of their most nuanced and emotionally engaging albums in years, arriving at a different kind of immediacy than can be achieved with loud guitars and angsty hooks".

"The band has managed to successfully shift styles throughout their career and moving from aggression to a relaxed sense of calm and beauty, while still questioning the world crisis around them in a pseudo hopeful fashion, is a neat trick. Wild Loneliness is a whole lot different than What A Time To Be Alive musically, but spiritually it is a very worthy successor and up there with the best Superchunk has ever done".
