Bob Mould announced he's releasing the follow up to 2012's Silver Age on June 3rd. The posting on Mould's site describes Beauty & Ruin as "a compact epic" and though the album is only 36 minutes long, it "packs a staggering lifetime's worth of emotion and experience." The tracklisting and cover art haven't been revealed (though it's possible this picture of Bob with flowers is the artwork), but more details (and pre-orders) are expected soon.
Don't miss Bob Mould on Letterman on March 6th. It's likely he'll perform a track from Workbook, to celebrate the release of Workbook 25, the anniversary edition of the classic 1989 album, which was released last week.
Mould wraps up his Workbook 25 tour this weekend in New York, then heads to South By Southwest for a couple of gigs.
