Throughout his career fronting Superchunk and Portastatic, Mac McCaughan has channeled more than his share of angst into a microphone, resulting in distinctive rock anthems. So how can a voice so familiar to others still seem foreign to its owner? On 'The Sound Of Yourself', McCaughan's second release under his own name, he explores that question fully, shooting his voice through a prism and refracting it across these songs in different and rewarding ways. Additional guest appearances include Sabrina Ellis (A Giant Dog, Sweet Spirit), Mackenzie Scott of Torres, Matt Douglas of the Mountain Goats on saxophone, and Mary Lattimore on harp.
