Of all the comebacks and reunions and renaissances in the past two years, none found my sweet spot quicker than Superchunk’s “Majesty Shredding.” Majestic to its exuberant, celebratory core, the quartet’s first album in nine years doesn’t feel a bit like an attempt to cash in on the nostalgia of the band’s heyday. The video for “Digging for Something,” directed by former “Daily Show” writer Scott Jacobson, has some fun with that notion too – as the North Carolinans hilariously find each other and reunite.
