Come Pick Me Up is the seventh studio album by Superchunk, released in 1999. It is marked by the presence of co-producer Jim O'Rourke, a well-known figure in underground circles. Superchunk drummer Jon Wurster said that O'Rourke was selected because the band wanted someone "coming from a different head-space." [1] O'Rourke helped the band decorate the album with string and horn touches that were not typical of their guitar-based sound. One of the horn players who appeared on the album is another well-known figure in underground circles, Shellac's Bob Weston.
Contents
The title of the album is taken from a line in "Hello Hawk," the album's first single.
Bass player Laura Ballance did the cover painting.
