Bob Mould planning 2009 "Guitar" album

Contributed by lostandclowned. Posted on Wednesday, August 6, 2008 at 2:00 PM (EDT)

Bob Mould has announced his plans to release a new "guitar" album in early 2009. Mould very simple states:

Yes, it is a guitar album.
Yes, it will be released by Anti- in the US.
Yes, it is set for a February 2009 release.
Yes, there will be band touring next spring.

It will be the followup to Mould's well recieved March release, District Line.

i've been saying this for years. but if you're going to tour, bob mould, and you're not going to tour with husker du, then at least tour with paul westerberg. that would be a great tour.

I finally gave Zen Arcade a shot this week, and man, just wasn't feeling it at all. Its pretty flat.

stoked but what does "guitar album" mean? District Line is for the most part guitar based. no electronic elements at all now? I think they were integrated wonderfully this time round.

I am stoked.
Especially stoked for the quick turnaround.
And hopefully the band will play Michigan this time around.

I saw him do a solo performance last summer at Henry Ford and it was killer, but I'd love to see him with the band.

i'd be interested to know if he'd be into a Sugar reunion. i think they'd be easier to recreate than Husker Du.

Bob Mould and Grant Hart apparently hate each others guts, so a Husker Du reunion isn't likely.
By "guitar album" does he mean like Billy Bragg or an album dominated by guitar sound?

You didn't really saw Zen Arcade was "flat" did you? Everyone has thier own vibe they are into but "flat" - really? I have to stay away from this site for a few days....

Been listening to a couple of Husker Du albums in the car going to and from work this week, great stuff. In a communist country they would never have been allowed to split, which is the best argument I can think of for communism.

Bob Mould does not need to reform Sugar or Husker Du as he has the Bob Mould Band.

And I've seen all three incarnations as well as him solo.

I think what he means is that it is going to be more rock oriented.....I mean, the last two albums are some of my favorite albums of the past few years....but I think this just means he's going for a more stripped down approach this time....or maybe he's just clarifying it's going to be like the other two...who knows. Despite my love for the two recent ones, I'd love to hear Bob Mould do something that is equal parts aggressive and melodic...much like Zen Arcade. 'Something I Learned Today' is one of the greatest songs in existence.
