"This record, Superwolf, is credited to Matt Sweeney and Bonnie 'Prince' Billy. Bonnie challenged Matt to write music to a series of song lyrics, and this collaboration was done over some months, and included live shows in London, New Orleans, Brooklyn, and Baltimore. The two retired to Paul Oldham's Rove Studios to lay the songs down. They enlisted the help of drummer Peter Townsend, and vocalist Sue Schofield dropped in for a brief cameo."

Title:	Must Be Blind/Life In Muscle
Label:	DRAG CITY
Format:	10"
Price:	$12.00
Catalog #:	DC 481EP

"Bonnie and Sweeney are back - and the men of Superwolf have a new pair of songs on Drag City for the first time since that album of six years gone now. For now, you will be satisfied with this new full-color 10" single (that comes on black vinyl, don't misunderstand). Must Be Blind/Life In Muscle bring the boys' summer back home again. Matt's guitar's burbling rumble evokes the constant trickle of sweat and the madness of bodies crushed together on the street, while Bonnie's parched vocals create thirst and the slow stretching of the limbs in the sunlight. Sweeney and Bonnie are supported in their musical mini-epics by frequent drums companion Pete Townsend and a pair of talents from the still-vibrant Nashville scene: engineer David Ferguson, who also played bass, and the renowned Ronnie McCoury on mandolin. All the sounds here lend their parts to the moist, heaving whole."
