Bob Mould debuts rocker ‘Hey Mr. Grey’ — first track off upcoming ‘Beauty & Ruin’

Bob Mould

Bob Mould this morning treated fans to the first taste of his upcoming 11th solo album Beauty & Ruin, dropping the 2-minute “pure adrenalin shot” that is “Hey Mr. Grey,” which is meant to introduce fans to the forthcoming 35-minute record, described by his label Merge as a “compact epic” that will take listeners on “a sweeping exploration beginning with death and loss.”

The 11-song album, which, like 2012′s Sliver Age, is due out June 3 in North America and June 9 in the U.K. and Europe, and will be preceded by the first “proper” single “I Don’t Know You Anymore.”

  1. So good.

  2. He is on a career high at the moment for sure. The Workbook remaster was brilliant, Silver Age was brilliant and this track bodes well for this new albums prospects as well.

    On a side not, Grant Hart’s newest album The Argument is amazing as well if interested parties haven’t heard it yet. Takes a bit of time to digest the content and stylized production but the rewards for doing so are awesome. Glad to see his life on track these days!
