Bob Mould – Patch The Sky LP Vinyl Record

Former frontman for bothHüsker Dü and Sugar, the masterfulBob Mould started his solo songwriting career following the breakup ofHüsker Dü in 1988. He released his debut album “Workbook” in 1989, and since then has released another 14 albums. His twelfth of which, “Patch The Sky”, arrived in March of 2016.

Bob Mould had this to say about his work: “Here’s the deal. In 2012, people loved “Silver Age” (to a degree that surprised me, pleasantly), likewise “Beauty & Ruin” in 2014 (despite the heaviness of the subject matter, which I thought might be a bit alienating… apparently not. Another pleasant surprise.). But “Patch The Sky” is the darkest one. I’ve had a solid stretch of hard emotional times, and thanks for the condolences in advance. I don’t want to go into the details – more death, relationships ending, life getting shorter – because they’re already in the songs. Just listen and see if you can fit yourself into my stories. The words make you remember. The music makes you forget. But “Patch The Sky” is also the catchiest one. At the core of these songs is what I call the chemical chorus – you hear it once and your brain starts tingling. The heart rate picks up. It gets worse – you know it’s coming again and you can barely stand the anticipation. Then, the beautifully heartbreaking bridge appears, and you’re all set up – hooked for life. Music is an incredibly powerful drug. I want to be your drug dealer. I have what you need.”
