Bob Mould: new solo album for the former Husker Du

Bob Mould has announced details of his new album “Here We Go Crazy” and made the video of the title track available online.

The 11-track album, which follows “Blue Hearts”, published in 2020, will be released on March 7 by BMG/Granary Music and is the 15th work of a solo career that began in 1989.

As a preview of what the new album by the former Husker Du leader will contain, you can watch the video of the title track.

“On the surface, it’s a bunch of simple guitar pop songs,” Mold says. “I’m honing my core sound and style through simplicity, brevity and clarity,” Mold adds. “Under the hood, there are several conflicting themes. Control and chaos, hypervigilance and helplessness, uncertainty and unconditional love.”

The album tracklist is as follows:

1. Here We Go Crazy
2. Neanderthals
3. Breathing Room
4. Hard To Get
5. When Your Heart Is Broken
6. Fur Mink Wishes
7. Lost Or Stolen
8. Sharp Little Pieces
9. You Need To Shine
10. Threads So Thin
11. Your Side

In reference to the album/single title, Mold says: “‘Here We Go Crazy’ can be many different things. The joy of reckless abandon, the uncertainty of the world’s future, the silence of solitude “.

The video for the single was filmed in California and Mold explains: “I’ve spent time in the Southern California desert over the last few years. A cold, mountaintop wilderness, sweeping vistas beneath the hills, faraway places to escape the grind of life”.
