Dan Wilson Semisonic

After Trip Shakespeare’s breakup in 1992, Wilson and Munson joined with drummer Jacob Slichter to form Pleasure, a trio that was later renamed Semisonic. Semisonic released one EP, three full-length albums, and one live album.

The band’s first album, Great Divide, received critical acclaim. David Fricke wrote in a year-end Rolling Stone article on the notable albums of 1996, “Great Divide is that rare ’96 beast, a record of simple but sparkling modern pop, rattling with power-trio vitality.” It was their 1998 release, Feeling Strangely Fine, however, that brought the band to widespread national and then international attention and success.

Powered by Wilson’s songs “Closing Time”, which was a number-one hit on the Modern Rock charts for thirteen weeks in the spring and summer of 1998, the follow-up single “Singing in My Sleep”, and “Secret Smile”, a breakthrough hit for the band internationally, Feeling Strangely Fine attained platinum sales status in the U.S. and U.K.

“Closing Time” received a 1999 Grammy nomination for Best Rock Song and has become an enduring pop-culture reference point for the late 1990s. It was a focal point of the plot and soundtrack of the 2011 film Friends with Benefits.

Semisonic’s third album, All About Chemistry, was released in 2001, and featured Wilson’s song “Chemistry”, the album’s first single, and also included “One True Love”, a song Wilson co-wrote with Carole King.

Semisonic stopped touring in August 2001 but continue to perform on occasion. Slichter’s memoir, So You Wanna Be a Rock & Roll Star, provides a detailed account of the band’s adventures and misadventures in the music business.
