Leaves in the Gutter EP track list:

1. Learned to Surf
2. Misfits & Mistakes
3. Screw It Up
4. Knock Knock Knock
5. Learned to Surf (acoustic demo)

Superchunk will make an appearance at this year's Coachella festival on April 18. The band will most almost definitely make also play the XX Merge festival in July. We're still waiting on the announcement of the peformers for the festival.

[UPDATE: Here's what Mac had so say about the songs from the new EP on Merge's website.

Some of these songs are newer than others, but we kind of felt like if we're going to get to work on a new album we need to clear the decks of these songs first. A couple of them I really like but they already feel like they're from another era and wouldn't fit on a new album anyway, and the newer ones are from the new era but we've recorded them and they sound good so here they are. Now, when we play them live, someone might have actually heard them before!]
