Bob Mould has shared a lyric for his new single "When Your Heart Is Broken" to celebrate the arrival of his new stuido album, "Here We Go Crazy," his first new record in over four years.
He had this to say, "'When Your Heart Is Broken' is built from a familiar blueprint for my work: bright melodies, dark words, loud guitars. 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."
Mould said of the album, "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.
"Under the hood, there's a number of contrasting themes. Control and chaos, hypervigilance and helplessness, uncertainly and unconditional love."
