FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

BOB MOULD
BODY OF SONG
JULY 26

Bob Mould returns to the signature guitar sound and songwriting style that helped define a genre on Body Of Song, due out July 26 on Yep Roc.

Written and recorded mostly over the course of the past year, Body Of Song is Mould's first new album length release since 2002, and his first since the mid-90s to employ a guitar-heavy full-band approach ("Paralyzed," "Circles") as well as a few subdued, acoustic-based ballads ("High Fidelity," "Days Of Rain") and some new twists, such as the electronically treated vocals riding atop waves of guitar on "(Shine Your) Light Love Hope."

Guest musicians on Body Of Song include Brendan Canty (Fugazi), David Barbe (Sugar), Matt Hammon (1998 Bob Mould Band), and Amy Domingues (Garland Of Hours).

Body Of Song's release will be followed by a fall world tour that will see Mould performing material from all stages of his career-solo, Sugar, Husker Du-for the first time in a full band context. Of the above musicians, Canty has signed on to play drums for the tour.

Body Of Song was produced and mixed by Bob Mould with engineers Don Zientara (Inner Ear Studio, Arlington VA), David Barbe (Chase Park Transduction, Athens GA), Frank Marchand (Waterford Digital, Pasadena MD), and Mould himself (Granary NYC, Granary WDC).
