Album Notes & Community Reviews

Recorded shortly after the romantic breakup of frontman Mac McCaughan and bassist Laura Ballance, 'Foolish' is an uncharacteristically dark and emotionally raw entry in the band's energetic catalog. Slowing down their frantic punk tempos, the album allows space for deeper melodic nuance, achieving revered status within the 1990s indie rock canon.
