“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

Bob Mould’s forthcoming studio album, Beauty & Ruin, can now be streamed in its entirety via Pitchfork Advance. The album stream comes one week ahead of Beauty & Ruin‘s June 3 release on Merge Records. Pre-orders for the album already being hailed as possibly Bob’s finest solo work since the classic Workbook are live now on Merge’s website and iTunes. The first 400 LP pre-orders placed through Merge will receive the album on yellow vinyl. All iTunes pre-orders come with an instant gratification download of “Hey Mr. Grey”.

Bob Mould is also pleased to confirm a release week performance on CONAN. Bob will be the featured musical guest on the Wednesday, June 4 airing of the late night TV series. CONAN airs at 11pm EST on TBS.

Additional happenings surrounding the release of Beauty & Ruin include multiple broadcasts of “See a Little Light” on Palladia throughout June. “See a Little Light” documents the November 2011 tribute to Bob at the Walt Disney Concert Hall in Los Angeles, where many of today’s most influential artists gathered to celebrate Bob’s legendary canon. Dave Grohl (Foo Fighters), Britt Daniel (Spoon), Ryan Adams, No Age, Craig Finn and Tad Kubler (The Hold Steady), Margaret Cho with Grant Lee Phillips, and Jessica Dobson (The Shins, Deep Sea Diver) all performed classic compositions from the Hüsker Dü, Sugar and Bob Mould solo catalogues. Fortunately, the entire evening was captured in stunning audio and high-quality video quality by filmmaker Justin Mitchell. Specific air dates and times below.

Take a listen to Bob Mould (and Fred Armisen who can teach us all how to do a mean Bob Mould impression) on Margaret Cho’s podcast “Monsters Of Talk” HERE.

Bob Mould has unveiled yet another tantalizing peek at his forthcoming studio album, Beauty & Ruin. This latest glimpse comes in the form of the album’s phenomenal lead single, “I Don’t Know You Anymore.”

“I Don’t Know You Anymore” is a classic bittersweet Mould tour de force in a tradition stretching from 2012’s Silver Age to his legendary Hüsker Dü and Sugar singles. Belying its tapestry of brightly melodic power chords and unmistakable Mouldian melodies, “I Don’t Know You Anymore” features Bob in fine, caustic lyrical form, laying out his frustrations concerning a relationship gone sour.

“I Don’t Know You Anymore” is now streaming on SoundCloud: http://bit.ly/1k2suBd and is available for purchase from iTunes.

The “I Don’t Know You Anymore” single premiere follows the recent unveiling of album track “Hey Mr. Grey,” (streaming here). Attendees of Bob Mould’s recent SXSW shows were treated to several Beauty & Ruin tracks and can attest: this is not an album to be missed.

Available for pre-order now at Merge and iTunesBeauty & Ruin will be released by Merge Records June 3 in North America, June 9 in the UK and Europe. Bob is backed on the album by his longtime band of Jason Narducy (bass/backing vocals) and Jon Wurster (drums).

BOBMOULD_BeautyRuinArt

“His Thursday night SXSW set revealed an artist tired of looking back and ready to move forward – as loudly as possible.”-AUSTIN CHRONICLE

“Bob Mould still has it. He burned through songs with mad intensity… Mould is a true legend… Mould thanked the crowd for ‘putting up with the new songs,’ but it was obvious that no one present minded in the least.”-FLAGPOLE

“Guitar slung low and playing loud as hell, Mould started into tunes from his upcoming album, Beauty & Ruin, and it was some hard-hitting stuff that felt like it was slamming into you… I can’t wait to pick up the album”-OMAHA WORLD-HERALD/ROCK CANDY

Fresh off two triumphant sets at South By Southwest that debuted a good chunk of his upcoming Beauty & Ruin, Bob Mould has unveiled a first glimpse of that compact epic: The album track “Hey Mr. Grey” is now available to stream at https://soundcloud.com/mergerecords/bob-mould-hey-mr-grey/s-5GY8D

Having gone down a storm at those aforementioned SXSW shows, “Hey Mr. Grey” is as self-effacing as it is anthemic, a pure adrenalin shot in the vein of Bob’s late period Hüsker Dü and vintage Sugar work imbued with a self assured sense of both humor and acceptance. It’s also the tip of the iceberg (no pun intended… well, maybe…) of Beauty & Ruin‘s 36-minute journey: a sweeping exploration beginning with death and loss, through familiar relationship battlegrounds to an ultimate re-acknowledgment of his role in life (and the lives of countless others, no doubt) with an eye towards an optimistic future.

Available for pre-order as of today at Merge and iTunesBeauty & Ruin will be released by Merge Records June 3 in North America, June 9 in the UK and Europe. The album’s release will be preceded by its first proper single “I Don’t Know You Anymore.” Bob is backed on the album as ever by his longtime band of Jason Narducy (bass/backing vocals) and Jon Wurster (drums).

2014 SXSW SHOWS ANNOUNCED

Mould_Bob_Workbook_25_OV-36

When the intense and inhumanly prolific career of the legendary Hüsker Dü went supernova in 1988, Bob Mould all but went into self-imposed exile.

Mould would re-emerge the following year with his first solo album-the incredibly impassioned and personal Workbook.

Today, Omnivore Recordings commemorates the 25th anniversary of this iconic work with the deluxe 2-CD 2-LP Workbook 25. In addition to the original album’s 11 tracks, the first CD adds “All Those People Know,” originally issued as the B-side of the single “See A Little Light.” The second CD is Bob’s complete 1989 performance at Chicago’s Cabaret Metro. 13 of the 17 tracks are previously unissued from this mythical show, which features music from the then two-week old Workbook, as well as Hüsker Dü favorites and a cover of Richard & Linda Thompson’s classic “Shoot Out The Lights.” The reissue is also available in a 2-LP vinyl edition which includes “All Those People Know” as well.

The previously announced “25 Years of Workbook”  tour kicks off with a set February 27 at the Noise Pop festival in San Francisco and a six-date run of select, intimate dates where Bob, along with long-time bassist Jason Narducy and cellist Alison Chesley who played on Last Dog and Pony Show, will be performing selections from Workbook as well as other songs in his catalog that sit nicely alongside this album. They will also be stopping by Austin, TX for sets at the Merge Records Showcase and The A.V. Club day party during SXSW.

Additionally, Bob will be returning to The Late Show with David Letterman on March 6th to continue the anniversary celebration.

BOB MOULD: WORKBOOK 25

25th ANNIVERSARY DELUXE EDITION OUT FEBRUARY 25, 2014

FEBRUARY 27 “25 YEARS OF WORKBOOK” NOISE POP PERFORMANCE TO BE FOLLOWED BY SIX DATE COMMEMORATIVE TOUR MARCH 1-8

When the intense and inhumanly prolific career of the legendary Hüsker Dü went supernova in 1988, Bob Mould all but went into self-imposed exile.

Mould would re-emerge the following year with his first solo album–the incredibly impassioned and personal Workbook.

While recognized from day one as an astonishing guitarist, as well as a master of pop songcraft discernible even through the ear-splitting din of Hüsker Dü classics like Zen Arcade and New Day Rising, Mould’s compositions and performances on Workbook plumbed emotional depths and hit musical heights few expected. Instant classics like “Wishing Well” and “See A Little Light” would remain live staples of Mould solo sets for decades to come.

On February 25, 2014 Omnivore Recordings will commemorate the 25th anniversary of this iconic work with the deluxe 2-CD 2-LP Workbook 25. In addition to the original album’s 11 tracks, the first CD adds “All Those People Know,” originally issued as the B-side of the single “See A Little Light.” The second CD is Bob’s complete 1989 performance at Chicago’s Cabaret Metro. 13 of the 17 tracks are previously unissued from this mythical show, which features music from the then two-week old Workbook, as well as Hüsker Dü favorites and a cover of Richard & Linda Thompson’s classic “Shoot Out The Lights.” Workbook 25 will also make the album available on vinyl for the first time since its original release, pressed on 2 LPs for sonic superiority. The vinyl edition will include “All Those People Know” as well.

Pre-orders for Workbook 25 can be placed at
http://omnivorerecordings.com/shop/records/bob-mould/

Workbook 25‘s release will be followed in short order by a previously announced “25 Years of Workbook” set February 27 at the Noise Pop festival in San Francisco and a six-date run of select, intimate dates where Bob, along with long-time bassist Jason Narducy, will be performing selections from Workbook as well as other songs in his catalog that sit nicely alongside this album.

The itinerary is as follows:

Fri February 27 – San Francisco – Great American Music Hall (Noise Pop Festival)
Sat March 1st – Chicago – Old Town
Sun March 2nd – Chicago – City Winery
Tues March 4th – Minneapolis – The Women’s Club
Wed March 5th – Washington DC – 9:30 Club
Fri March 7th – New York – City Winery
Sat March 8th – New York – City Winery

For tickets, additional information etc., visit individual show pages as hyperlinked in the above itinerary.

Originally released May 2, 1989, Workbook is a singular statement of renewal.  It has proven an inspiration to a generation of musicians ranging from Dave Grohl to Ben Gibbard. Ryan Adams describes the album as “the sound of the internal and the subconscious, of dream, of regret, and of a silence that was lingering.”

Bob Mould's Acclaimed Autobiography See A Little Light: The Trail of Rage and Melody Softcover Edition Out Now  

“I feel so grateful that Bob chose to share his life story in such a candid and open manner. See A Little Light stands tall with the greatest rock and roll memoirs of all time.”
—Benjamin Gibbard, Death Cab for Cutie

“Bob Mould”s incredible journey is an inspiring one. I hope to one day be able to write a book like this, to live like this, to rock like this.”
—Margaret Cho

Bob Mould”s inspirational and critically lauded autobiography, See A Little Light: The Trail of Rage and Melody, is now available in a softcover edition just released by Cleis Press.

See A Little Light recounts the unique history of one of the most revered figures of independent music, a creative voice whose singular intensity altered the course of American music and queer culture. Revealing the struggles with his own homosexuality, the best online casino complexities of his intimate relationships, as well as his own drug and alcohol addiction, Mould opens up to describe life inside that furnace and beyond.

Bob Mould stormed onto America”s punk rock scene in 1979, bursting forth from Minnesota with the legendary trio Hüsker Dü, who instantly exceeded  the speed and volume of the hardcore standard, but matured to imbue it with peerless melody and emotional depth.  Hüsker Dü”s ambition was rivaled only by its self-destructive bent, and See A Little Light chronicles the turmoil that surrounded the creation of classics like the 2LP conceptual opus Zen Arcade, New Day Rising, Flip Your Wig, and Candy Apple Grey, before the band would flame out barely 8 years from their inception.

A classic story of individualism and persistence, See A Little Light takes us on Mould’s whirlwind ride through achieving sobriety, the acclaimed solo career ignited by his stunning 1989 solo debut Workbook and bookending his second classic trio Sugar and its two indelible albums Copper Blue and File Under: Easy Listening, his surprising detour into the world of pro wrestling, and his ultimately coming to a current state of peace with his family, friends, music and–most of all–himself.

Bob is currently writing and rehearsing material for the follow up to his recent Silver Age album, having just wound down a successful world tour in support of that record.
