Album Review: Mac McCaughan - Non-Believers

Mac McCaughan’s Non-Believers feels familiar. Despite this being his first album under his own name, fans of McCaughan from Superchunk and Portastatic will feel at home.

The album opens with a heralding of synth frequencies, pulsating almost like their breathing. It sounds like the signature tones from Close Encounters of the Third Kind. Non-Believers heavily relies on synthesizers and drum machines to set the mood, departing from McCaughan’s previous work; however, anyone familiar with 80s new wave will instantly be comfortable.
