BEAUTY & RUIN OUT JUNE 3 ON MERGE RECORDS
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/
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 iTunes, Beauty & 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).
