Bob Mould - new album & 2009 Tour Dates (2 x Joes Pub)

Bob Mould

2009 marks the 20th anniversary of the release of Workbook, and also the release of Bob Mould‘s latest album, Life And Times, set for an April 7th street date. Produced and mixed by Mould in his current hometown of Washington D.C., the album is filled with Mould’s experiences in relation to friends, lovers, the world at large and himself. It is honest and personal, his voice breaking on “Bad Blood Better,” the electronic twitches of earlier work reappearing under signature blazing guitars on “MM17.” Mould appraises the perils of easy self-distraction on “Wasted World” and is not afraid to get explicit on “Argos.” The emotional and musical centerpiece of the record, “I’m Sorry Baby, But You Can’t Stand In My Light Anymore,” is an unflinching look at the sorrow and regret that comes at the end of love.

Tickets are on sale for two shows at Joe’s Pub in April (8th & 9th). Catch Bob even sooner when he plays an R.E.M. cover at Carnegie Hall on March 11th. All dates and the new album tracklist below…
