Bob Mould - BODY OF SONG
In
the panoply of American post-punk rockers, Bob Mould's name is synonymous
with innovation, passion and songcraft.
Mould's new record, Body of Song (YepRoc) also brings those same words to
mind. At its core, Body of Song is a return to the blend of punk and pop
that Mould fashioned in the 1980s with H'sker D' and in the 1990s with Sugar.
Fans of those bands and Mould's solo work will find that new songs such as
'Best Thing,' 'Missing You' and 'Paralyzed' brim over with the power,
ebullience and melody that has been his trademark in more than two decades of
music.
Yet as much as Body of Song reaches back to revisit the robust
directness of Sugar's Copper Blue (1992), Beaster (1993) and File
Under: Easy Listening (1994) or the stripped-down revelations of Mould's
1989 solo record Workbook, attentive listeners will find that
Mould's recent explorations in electronica ' including 2002's Modulate ' have pushed
those familiar sounds into new arenas on songs such as '(Shine Your) Love
Light Hope' and 'I Am Vision, I Am Sound.'
Indeed, the collision of past and present on Body of Song emphasizes the
numerous continuities in Mould's 20+ year career. It also makes the record's
title ' and a forthcoming Mould tour that will showcase material from his
entire oeuvre ' more than an apt phrase.
Individual pieces on Body of Song shift easily between rockers, ballads and
club anthems. But what all of the new work possesses is a consistency that is
built on ringing clarity and deeply-felt passions.
At various points in his work on Body of Song, Mould also
brought in Fugazi drummer Brendan Canty and Garland of Hours cellist Amy
Domingues to put on finishing touches on the newer material. Through trial
and error, Mould finally emerged with the record that he wanted.
Asked what he hopes listeners ' both old and new ' will find in Body of
Song,
Mould replies eagerly and without hesitation: 'I think, if anything, people
are going to find comfort in the record. How I know that is that I'm a lot
more comfortable with myself and where I am. For a long time, I was angry,
contrary and I've sort of let go of that. Because life is short and I know
that now. My comfort comes through in the record.'
