How cool is this? We get another Bob Mould record just a year after the last one!
From the Anti records site: 20 years after his first lauded solo album Workbook and 30 years since the formation of Husker Du, Bob Mould is releasing a new record on April 7th. Arguably one of the most influential musicians of the alternative rock era — first for his early work with the aforementioned post-punk rabble-rousers Husker Du, followed by the college-rock-defining pop of Sugar and finally for his solo albums, which range from the quieted ire of Workbook to the electronic experimentation of Modulator – Bob Mould is marking anniversaries with a record filled with his relations to friends, the world at large and himself. It is honest and personal, his voice breaking on “Bad Blood Better,” the electronic twitches of earlier work reappearing under signature blazing guitars on”MM17.” Mould appraises the perils of easy self-distraction on “Wasted World” and is not afraid to get explicit on “Argos.” The emotional and musical centerpiece of the record, “I’m Sorry Baby, But You Can’t Stand In My Light Anymore,” is an unflinching look at the sorrow and regret that comes at the end of love.
A follow up to 2008’s lauded District Line Bob Mould’s yet-untitled new release highlights an artist completing a circle decades in the making, his talent undiminished, his perspective revitalized.
