Skitter on Take-Off

Vic Chesnutt’s Vapor Records release captures the Athens, Georgia songwriter in characteristically raw form, marrying indie rock’s angular sensibilities with his distinctive vocal delivery and unflinching lyrical honesty. Recorded across the mid-1990s, Skitter on Take-Off showcases Chesnutt’s gift for structuring emotional vulnerability within deceptively catchy arrangements—a hallmark that would define his prolific solo career beyond The Drag Myself Around EP and his work with Superchunk’s Mac McCaughan.
