Bob Mould announces new album, Here We Go Crazy

Punk legend Bob Mould has announced details of his 15th studio album, Here We Go Crazy.

Due for release on March 7 via Granary Music/BMG Records, it's the highly-anticipated follow-up to 2020's Blue Hearts LP.

“On the surface, this is a group of straightforward guitar pop songs. I’m refining my primary sound and style through simplicity, brevity, and clarity," Bob says of his forthcoming record. “Under the hood, there’s a number of contrasting themes. Control and chaos, hypervigilance and helplessness, uncertainly and unconditional love.”

The album announcement is marked by the release of the title track – watch the video below.

“I’ve been spending time in the Southern California desert over the past few years, and the video was shot there. Chilly wilderness atop a mountain, expansive vistas below the hills, distant places to escape life’s routines,” says Bob. “’Going crazy’ can be many different things. The joy of reckless abandon, the uncertainty of the world's future, the silence of solitude.”
