Bob Mould, 64, known for his intense performances, experienced hyperventilation after a recent concert, showcasing his commitment to live music post-pandemic. His upcoming 15th album, Here We Go Crazy, features dynamic riffs and engaging lyrics, shaped by audience feedback during performances. Mould discussed the personal rituals that boost his well-being, such as early morning walks to combat tinnitus. The musician’s ability to connect with his audience through high-energy shows remains a hallmark of his nearly five-decade career, blending his musical legacy with personal self-care practices.
Sometimes you see people's head bobbing, and they're poking each other, like, This is a good one,' Mould said in a phone interview.
I have really bad tinnitus from work I mean, I will never have silence again. So one of my favorite things in life is to get up before the sun comes up, and just walk for two hours.
Such energy-expending performances are typical for Mould, who’s been a regular on the road since venues reopened after pandemic shutdowns.
It finds the onetime Husker Du and Sugar frontman piling on the sort of speedy riffs, dead-center hooks and scream-of-consciousness lyrics that have defined much of Mould's nearly 50-year career.
