District Line
Beggars Banquet
INDIE
Return of Bob Mould, the legendary guitarist/singer, who wrote the rule book for contemporary guitar rock with Husker Du and Sugar
Put simply without Bob’s work with these bands there’d be no Pixies, no Nirvana and half the guitar bands on MTV right now would be struggling to find an idea of their own.
His new album ‘District Line’ shows he has lost none of his inspiration and firepower
Having left a permanent mark with Hüsker Dü and Sugar, and with a half-dozen, uncompromising solo albums, Bob has long been regarded as a name at the forefront of American music. Not one for sentiment, Bob prefers to ignore his legacy and “cult status”, going straight to what he does best – namely that of making hair-raisingly emotional, undeniably catchy, loud, mature, guitar rock.
District Line – his first for Beggars Banquet – instantly sounds both familiar and classic.
Providing a backbone to the record is Brendan Canty (Fugazi), a perfect foil to Mould’s determined guitar riffs, insistent basslines and passionate, vulnerable singing, while the beautifully bittersweet cello comes courtesy of Amy Domingues (who has previously played with Fugazi, Ted Leo, Jets From Brazil and many others) .
They make a huge sound for a small team and fans will delight in this, a new “Loud Bob” record.
