After a brief hiatus and another Australian tour, the band released a limited-edition EP called "The Laughter Guns". They then started writing for what would become "Indoor Living". Recording started in Bloomington, Indiana's Echo Park Studios with Chapel Hillian John Plymale co-producing with the band. Superchunk stretched out a bit on "Indoor Living", expanding their sound by adding some new instruments to the mix: piano, organ, vibes and more. The album was by far their most adventurous and at the same time their most accessible to date.
