The song is the second single from the project
Bob Mould has shared the latest single from his upcoming new album, “Neanderthal,” available everywhere now. Mould’s 15th solo album and first full-length studio album in more than four years, Here We Go Crazy arrives via Granary Music/BMG Records on March 7th.
“In the early stages of writing this album, I envisioned ‘Neanderthal’ as the opening track,” says Mould. “I imagined a child raised in an unstable home, perpetually exposed to erratic and confrontational behavior. A fight or flight situation. ‘Neanderthal’ is a frantic sprint through darkened hallways littered with tension, conflict, and aggression. A claustrophobic maze of distorted mirrors. As the song nears the end, a pair of subconscious voices appear. The first voice is both soothing and unsettling, while the final voice is reactionary and violent. It’s a fight or flight song.”
Produced by Mould at Chicago, IL’s famed Electrical Audio in early 2024 and then finished and mixed at Oakland, CA’s Tiny Telephone with longtime engineer Beau Sorenson, Here We Go Crazy once again features backing by the crack rhythm section of drummer Jon Wurster and bassist Jason Narducy, and together the trio bring a bracing attack to eleven new Bob Mould songs.
Solo UK release week shows were recently announced for The Lower Third in London and Rough Trade in Bristol and both sold out in hours.
Mould and his band featuring drummer Jon Wurster and bassist Jason Narducy will mark the arrival of Here We Go Crazy with US headline dates underway April 1st at San Diego, CA’s Music Box and then traveling through mid-May. Highlights include stops at venues including Pioneertown, CA’s Pappy & Harriet’s, San Francisco, CA’s The Fillmore, Seattle, WA’s Neptune Theatre, St. Paul, MN’s Palace Theatre, Chicago, IL’s Metro, Boston, MA Paradise Rock Club, New York City’s Le Poisson Rouge, and Washington, DC’s Black Cat.
