Bob Mould Releases New Album, “Here We Go Crazy”, Today On Granary Music/Bmg Records And Shares New Single “When Your Heart Is Broken”

Today sees the release of "Here We Go Crazy", the 15th solo album and first full-length studio album in more than four years from legendary US musician Bob Mould. It's out now via Granary Music/BMG Records. To mark the occasion, Mould has shared a new single from the album in its resplendent centrepiece 'When Your Heart Is Broken' alongside an accompanying lyric video, as well as announcing a European tour for November and December 2025.

"'When Your Heart Is Broken' is built from a familiar blueprint for my work: bright melodies, dark words, loud guitars," Mould explains. "It’s one of the earliest songs written for Here We Go Crazy, and I added it to my Solo Electric set list in Fall 2022. Some nights, I would play 'Too Far Down', followed by 'When Your Heart Is Broken', then ask the audience: Which one of the two is heavier? To me, the musical urgency of 'When Your Heart Is Broken' is uplifting, the lyrical reflection offers redemption, and it’s most certainly a song I can throw myself into when playing live."

"Here We Go Crazy" – which follows 2020’s critically acclaimed Blue Hearts – was heralded at the top of the year by the premiere of the lead single and title track, "Here We Go Crazy", with anticipation further piqued by last month's follow-up, the turbulent second single "Neanderthal". "Here We Go Crazy"was hailed by The Guardian as "a muscular ripper [that] stands alongside Mould's best" and by Stereogum as “vintage Bob Mould – a concise power-pop jam with a soaring melody and a whole lot of muscle,” the track was joined by an official music video directed by Gus Black (Phoebe Bridgers, Teddy Swims).

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. Together the trio bring a bracing attack to eleven new Bob Mould songs.

“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," Mould says. “Under the hood, there’s a number of contrasting themes. Control and chaos, hypervigilance and helplessness, uncertainly and unconditional love
