He was in H\u00fcsker D\u00fc, the Minnesota trio that married noise and melodicism in the 1980s. Among their followers were Nirvana, another trio with an ear for loudness and melody. Indeed, Dave Grohl\u2019s post-Nirvana group Foo Fighters were moulded from the sound of Mould. For Grohl, the former H\u00fcsker D\u00fc frontman \u201cshould be placed in the highest ranks of America\u2019s greatest songwriters and lyricists.\u201dHere We Go Crazy is his 15th solo album. Its predecessor Blue Hearts came out in 2020 near the end of Donald Trump\u2019s first presidency. The songs were raw-skinned polemics about the state of the nation. \u201cThis American crisis keeps me wide-awake at night,\u201d Mould cried at one point, words tumbling inside a furious torrent of guitar, bass and drums. Written during a \u201cthree-day sleepless stretch\u201d, in Mould\u2019s words, the album had the impatient feel of cages being rattled and floors paced.His new songs arrive at the start of Trump\u2019s second term. They are also full of energy. But this time Mould portrays himself as overwhelmed by events. In \u201cBreathing Room\u201d, he sings about trying to find respite for his \u201ctroubled mind\u201d. \u201cLost or Stolen\u201d finds him struggling with \u201cparanoid and schizoid thoughts\u201d. \u201cStorm is coming closer, is it time to head for shelter?\u201d he wonders in \u201cThread So Thin\u201d.These battered sentiments are phrased in a voice that has hardly altered over the decades. At 64, Mould still resembles his younger self, open and committed. Meanwhile, the music surges by in the brightly blaring style of his post-H\u00fcsker D\u00fc group, Sugar. Honed while touring, it aims for directness and simplicity. Drummer Jon Wurster strongarms his kit amid tunefully shaped walls of noise from Mould\u2019s guitar. Bassist Jason Narducy provides the underpinning.In keeping with its theme of refuge, Here We Go Crazy finds comfort in the familiar contours of Mould\u2019s sound. It is heartening to encounter him in full flow, hollering at the head of his power trio, even if the results lack the electric charge of Blue Hearts.\u2605\u2605\u2605\u2606\u2606\u2018Here We Go Crazy\u2019 is released by Granary Music\/BMG<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
