Bob Mould will return with his 15th solo studio album this spring.
'Here We Go Crazy' will arrive on March 7 via Granary Music/BMG, marking the former Hüsker Dü frontman's first full-length project in over four years.
Recorded at the late Steve Albini's Electrical Audio in Chicago, and completed at John Vanderslice's Tiny Telephone studio in Oakland, California, it comprises 11 new songs produced by Mould, who was accompanied by bassist Jason Narducy and drummer Jon Wurster. Mould commented:
"I’ve been spending time in the Southern California desert over the past few years, and the video was shot there. Chilly wilderness atop a mountain, expansive vistas below the hills, distant places to escape life’s routines. 'Going crazy’ can be many different things. The joy of reckless abandon, the uncertainty of the world's future, the silence of solitude."
As a preview, head below to check out the record's title track and lead single, a no frills guitar-pop track that comes with a Gus Black-directed video.
"On the surface, this is a group of straightforward guitar pop songs. I’m refining my primary sound and style through simplicity, brevity, and clarity," Mould added."Under the hood, there's a number of contrasting themes. Control and chaos, hypervigilance and helplessness, uncertainly and unconditional love."
Mould will support the follow-up to 2020's 'Blue Hearts' with a North American tour in the spring featuring support from Craig Finn, Poster Children, J. Robbins and Winged Wheel on select dates. Head here for details. Tickets go on general sale at 10am local time on Friday (January 10).
