Watch Bob Mould perform for The A.V. Club’s One Track Mind
More Local Newswire
Bob Mould has been making the rounds lately in promotion of his recently released memoir, See A Little Light, which recounts his time in seminal Twin Cities rock band Hüsker Dü, and later the ever-popular Sugar, as well as his breakaway from Minnesota after attending Macalester College and his somewhat nomadic lifestyle ever since. He talked with The A.V. Club’s Kyle Ryan near the 20th anniversary of the release of Sugar’s Copper Blue outside the Brooklyn, New York studio that served as the creative hotbed for much of Mould’s work in the early ’90s. Mould also gave us a peek into the makings of his next album:
“It’s funny because I’ve been writing for the new record, and knowing that this was coming up, I started thinking about the song [“Hoover Dam”] again. And sure enough, as soon as I started thinking about it, out comes another song that’s… not the same, but it’s going to be very… not similar either, but related, very much a touchstone. It’s not like Hoover Bridge or anything. It’s just, in thinking about, in preparing for this and thinking about this song and this place, it brings stuff back, and lo and behold, another song falls out sort of from it.”
