“Voices In My Head” Video Live: https://youtu.be/QLKIkmiLCzM
Extending the prolific tear that kicked off with the 2012 release of Silver Age and intensified with Beauty & Ruin in 2014, Bob Mould confirms the release of Patch The Sky out March 25th, 2016 on Merge Records.

Yesterday, Stereogum broke the news of Patch The Sky in the form of a Cover Story for which Bob took writer Ryan Leas on a historical walking tour of Bob’s own New York. Over the course of an epic day’s journey covering multiple locations and eras throughout Brooklyn and Manhattan, Bob offered up unique insight into his singular personal history and experiences that have informed his present and future. His overall approach to writing, how his work always catalogues his life, this “third act” resurgence he’s found himself in were all explored—including Patch The Sky’s place on the ongoing saga and the power he finds working with his longtime band in the studio and onstage.
