NORTH AMERICAN TOUR ANNOUNCED WITH FULL BAND
“When he comes back to his sweet spot…few are better at making smart, hooky rock. The title stands in complete contrast to the joy of blasting the song full volume, and getting the feeling that Mould knows himself better than ever.” – NPR MORNING EDITION
“The former Sugar and Hüsker Dü frontman sounds fully invigorated here…Mould rips through 12 bristling guitar-pop tracks that, at their propulsive and tuneful best, recall the classic eras of his much-loved former bands.” – ROLLING STONE
“It doesn’t feel like a stretch to say Beauty & Ruin scrapes the same eight-miles-high stratosphere as his best work with Hüsker Dü, Sugar, and under his own name…vital music from a living legend – a master class in the sort of gleaming, guitar-powered alt-rock that Mould helped to invent.” – STEREOGUM
“Mould captures both hope and despair well here, raging like he did in his Hüsker Dü days…irresistibly catchy as anything from Sugar’s heyday… Mould continues to grow artistically beyond his already legendary past.” – NEWSDAY
Yesterday, Bob Mould premiered the fantastic new video for “I Don’t Know You Anymore” on Funny or Die. In the video directed by Alicia J. Rose, Bob is joined by bandmates Jason Narducy and Jon Wurster as they scheme to develop an effective marketing strategy for his new single with some inspiration from The Decemberists’ Colin Meloy.
