Mould has experimented with everything from electronic to dance music but in 2012 Mould saw a return to the alternative rock sound he had avoided since the mid 90s with his album <i>Silver Age<\/i>. On his latest album, <i>Beauty and Ruin<\/i>, Mould finds himself in much of the same territory he did on <i>Silver Age, <\/i>focusing more on crunchy riffs and confessional lyrics rather than genre experimentation. Tracks like \u201cI Don\u2019t Know You Anymore\u201d call back to the poppier side of Husker Du and can be seen as a throwback. Other tracks like \u201cLet the Beauty Be\u201d take a more gentle approach to the music but features a particularly emotional vocal performance from Mould. Mould\u2019s vocals in particular have held up well over the past thirty years and he sounds just as great as ever. Check this album out if you\u2019re a fan of Mould\u2019s classic sound as you will not be disappointed.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Recommended if you like<\/strong> Husker Du, Sugar, and Superchunk<\/p>\n<p><em>Written by Jake Waters on 6\/3\/14<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Solo work from member of 80s hardcore legends Husker Du<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":971,"featured_media":31113,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3230,181],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-31112","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-new-music-rotation","category-rock-rotation"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/Unknown-2.jpeg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/31112","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/971"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=31112"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/31112\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/31113"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=31112"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=31112"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=31112"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
