About Bob Mould's new album...
I honestly wasn't expecting much. District Line was kind of a disappointment to me but considering I'm a loyal Bob Mould fan, I had to buy the new album.
It's his best work in a LONG LONG time. I used to wonder why so many more people were fans of Sugar (of which I only own the brilliant Copper Blue) rather than my fave Husker Du but this new album kind of explains why. It's very Sugar-esque, good old rock with just the right melodies the way Mould knows how to craft them. You can call it a form of Power-pop but his lyrics take the whole thing to another level. It's unguarded, like Workbook. I think one of my fave songs is Argos. Bad Blood Better going into another dimension of deep. Looking forward to any shows if he's coming my way!
I'm also listening to a ridiculous amount of Velvet Underground & Nico. Venus in Furs is on repeat as is the new Kristeen Young which I will eventually write about.
