Artist Info & TheLineOfBestFit.com Review
Guitarist/singer/songwriter Bob Mould was initially a member of Hüsker Dü, one of the most influential American bands of the '80s. Hüsker Dü was a post-hardcore punk band that helped define the sound and ideals of alternative rock. After Hüsker Dü broke up, Mould signed a solo contract with Virgin Records in 1988. The following year he released his first solo album, Workbook, which represented a major shift in sonic direction. Workbook was an introspective collection, featuring keyboards, acoustic guitars, and even strings. The album received excellent reviews and spent 14 weeks on the charts, peaking at 127; "See a Little Light" became a Top Ten modern rock hit. Mould returned to loud, guitar-driven rock on his second solo album, 1990's Black Sheets of Rain. Featuring the Top Ten modern rock hit "It's Too Late," Black Sheets of Rain received mixed reviews. Poison Years
Frustrated with the business operations of major record labels, Mould left Virgin after the release of Black Sheets of Rain; they would later release a compilation of the two albums, Poison Years. Mould then formed an independent record company, SOL (Singles Only Label), which released 45s from new, developing bands as well as cult bands. In 1992, he formed a new trio, Sugar, with bassist David Barbe and drummer Malcolm Travis; the band signed with Rykodisc in the U.S. and Creation in the U.K. Sugar's first album, Copper Blue, was released in the fall of 1992 to enthusiastic reviews and became Mould's most successful project to date. Copper Blue nearly went gold and spawned several alternative radio and MTV hits, including "Helpless" and "If I Can't Change Your Mind." In the spring of 1993, Sugar released the mini-LP Beaster, a more abrasive collection than Copper Blue that was recorded at the same sessions. Around the time of the release of Beaster, Mould was forced out of the closet by various gay publications, with hopes that he would embrace their political cause; he rejected their requests. File Under: Easy Listening
Mould wrote the material for the second Sugar album during 1993. The band began recording in the spring of 1994, but the sessions ground to a halt and the tapes were erased. Mould decided to give the album one more try, and it was recorded quickly late that spring. The album, File Under: Easy Listening, appeared in the fall of 1994. Although it received good reviews and was moderately successful commercially, it didn't match the performance of Copper Blue. In the spring of 1995, it was announced that Sugar was on hiatus. Besides, a collection of rarities and B-sides, was released that summer. By the fall, Mould had broken up the band and begun to work on a third album entirely by himself. Mould played all of the instruments on his self-titled third album, which was released in the spring of 1996. The Last Dog and Pony Show followed in 1998. In 2002, after a long period of musical inactivity, Mould returned with the electronics-heavy Modulate, followed by the more conventional Body of Song in 2005. After Blowoff, a dance project with Richard Morel, Mould returned to his guitar roots and paired up with Fugazi drummer Brendan Canty to record District Line in 2008. Life and Times
Mould inched back to alt-rock on 2009's Life and Times, then devoted himself to writing his autobiography with the assistance of Michael Azerrad. See a Little Light: The Trail of Rage and Melody was published in the summer of 2011. The following year, Mould returned to the sound of Sugar, playing the band's 1992 debut in its entirety while on tour, reissuing the band's catalog as deluxe editions, and, finally, reviving its sound on Silver Age, his first album for Merge Records. Having first risen to prominence as the lynchpin of alt-rock titans Husker Du, Bob Mould is, if not quite an unsung hero, certainly deserving of a little more recognition than he is often afforded by the casual music fan. His band was one of the most vital acts to emerge from the creative hotbed that was the American college-rock in the 1980s, seamlessly combining the energy of hardcore punk with impeccable pop nous and eventually proving to be a huge influence on the grunge movement that exploded in their wake. Although the likes of REM and The Replacements received far more commercial success, Husker Du remain one of the scene’s most enduring groups. Since their dissolution in 1988, Mould has continued to produce music of a consistently high standard. His latest solo album, Beauty & Ruin, does not break from this tradition,
The album opens with “Low Season”, a brooding, mid-paced number that somehow manages to successfully combine the incongruous elements of brash, almost Oasis-esque stadium rock riffs and subtle, considered vocals before breaking into a massive, cathartic middle eight. This slightly unexpected beginning is followed by “Little Glass Pill”, a far more familiar-sounding song for long-term Mould devotees, all thrashed powerchords and howl-along melodies. Much of this album’s best material sticks to this well-worn formula, coming across as more like an update of Husker Du’s sound than the soundtrack to their frontman’s midlife crisis (Pixies, take note). The record is fit to burst with poppy punk (NOT pop-punk) gems; “I Don’t Know You Anymore” and “Fire in the City” are particularly exhilarating, and “Forgiveness” pulls off the impressive feat of avoiding cheesy sentimentality despite the appearance of plaintive acoustic guitars and lyrics like “I’ve come to you to ask you for forgiveness… I guess I should stop playing this stupid game”.
It is not all perfect. Here and there, Mould switches onto autopilot and ends up filling up dead space in songs with half-arsed, Foo Fighters-ish powerchord passages, and the less said about the awful AOR dud “Let the Beauty Be” the better, But these moments are few and far between, with the bulk of the album consisting of straightforward, accomplished rock songs with enough muscle to anchor their poppy choruses and prevent them from floating off into Green Day territory. Mould has been at this for thirty-five years now, and it’s heartening to see he is showing no signs of slowing down any time soon.
