      The album was recorded under COVID lockdown in the band's home state of North Carolina. It was mixed by Wally Gagel, who also mixed the band's fifth album, Here's Where the Strings Come In (1995). Guest artists featuring on the record include Sharon Van Etten, Norman Blake and Raymond McGinley of Teenage Fanclub, Mike Mills of R.E.M., Andy Stack of Wye Oak, and Tracyanne Campbell of Camera Obscura.


      Reception



      Wild Loneliness received positive reviews from critics. Writing for Pitchfork, Steve Kandell summarized the album as a “moodier” and “more subdued” work by the band that “get[s] to the heart of some fun topics like fear and ambivalence in the face of environmental and societal ruin”, overall giving it a 7.9 out of 10 rating.
      Alex McLevy of The A.V. Club gave the album a B+ and wrote: "So many bands settle into a rut as they mature, but what has always kept Superchunk so invigorating through the years is how the music and lyrics have continued to evolve in ways befitting an indie-rock group whose sound has served as the template for a million imitators", and describing it as "one of the long-running group's most tender albums".
      PopMatters critic Kevin Kearney called the album a "a course correction after 2018's uneven What a Time to Be Alive, giving it a 7/10.
