Legendary singer-songwriter and guitarist Bob Mould returns with “Here We Go Crazy,” his 15th solo album and one of his most raw and urgent records to date. Stripped down and blistering with emotional clarity, the album reflects Mould’s renewed connection to his roots as a performer - both solo and with his longtime bandmates - drawing on decades of hard-earned wisdom and musical intensity. With 11 tightly packed tracks that pulse with electricity and vulnerability, Mould explores themes of chaos, isolation, trust, and resilience, ultimately finding light in the dark through melody and catharsis.
From the pioneering punk of Hüsker Dü, which bared his angst over furious noise and turbulent melody - an indelible influence on generations that followed - to the power-pop force of Sugar, alloying his most melodic songs with his fiercest noise, which yielded his most commercially successful work yet, and a much celebrated solo career, Mould has shaped the sound of alternative rock for over four decades.
Here We Go Crazy is both a reflection and a reckoning - an album that pairs Mould’s signature melodic hooks with lyrical depth, offering up truth, heart and sonic firepower in equal measure. Pop music runs through his veins, as surely as the electricity that drives his chiming hooks into the realms of distortion, but he’s here to give you songs that ring true when howled against a tornado of guitar - songs that compress all that “lifetime emotional content” into some kind of sonic diamond. There’s eleven of those precious gems here, sculpted to make the heaviness easier to bear, somehow. Treasure them.
Opener: J. Robbins - Gained prominence in the 90s as the singer/guitarist of the prolific and widely-traveled indie rock band Jawbox. That band’s sound developed to become a template for most of J’s later work: passionate and tuneful vocals set to driven guitars that swing between melody and clashing dissonance, atop complex and driving rhythms, abrasive post punk and melodic guitar pop influences in an always uneasy alliance greater than the sum of its parts.
