New ten track, solo album from former Husker Du and Sugar frontman Bob Mould coupled with a backing band that also features the drummer from Superchunk. Bob has ditched his electronic phase and returned to his roots, playing a noisy, fuzzy poppy style. Straight off the bat this has me hooked, sounding like a mix between the pace of later era Husker Du with the melodic hooks and catchiness one has come to expect from a Sugar release. Some really well crafted and structured tracks that have that familiarity to them by the second listen. Some great layered backing vocals that really add to the whole production. Not real sure why I was so hesitant to give this a listen.
