Bob Mould Announces First New Album Since 2020, ‘Here We Go Crazy’

Over four years since the release of his last album, alternative rock veteran Bob Mould has announced the release of his newest record, Here We Go Crazy.

Set for release on March 7, Here We Go Crazy arrives as the 15th solo album for the prolific musician, who previously served as a member of Hüsker Dü and Sugar. Produced by Mould at Chicago’s Electrical Audio in early 2024, and mixed by longtime engineer Beau Sorenson, the record’s announcement comes accompanied by a Gus Black-directed music video for its title track.

“I’ve been spending time in the Southern California desert over the past few years, and the video was shot there,” Mould explained in a statement. “Chilly wilderness atop a mountain, expansive vistas below the hills, distant places to escape life’s routines. ’Going crazy’ can be many different things. The joy of reckless abandon, the uncertainty of the world’s future, the silence of solitude.”

“On the surface, this is a group of straightforward guitar pop songs. I’m refining my primary sound and style through simplicity, brevity, and clarity,” Mould continued. “Under the hood, there’s a number of contrasting themes. Control and chaos, hypervigilance and helplessness, uncertainly [sic] and unconditional love.”

Somewhat uncharacteristically, Mould also shared a follow-up statement via social media where he simplified the standard jargon utilized in his media release.

“In the Hullabaloo Speak of press releases, I talk about refining my core sound,” he explained. “In Bob English: Give the people what they want. I spent the majority of the last three years touring the world, test driving some of these new songs, and talking with many of you after the Solo shows. I have a pretty good sense of what you enjoy in my work.”

“It’s loud guitars, catchy melodies, and the team (Jon, Jason, Beau) you know and love. It’s an intimate look into my current perspectives on life, love, and how we make it through the world one day at a time. It’s a Bob Mould album.”

The record’s release will also be accompanied by 26-date U.S. tour throughout April and May which will see Mould joined by his longtime bandmates Jon Wurster and Jason Narducy.
