Bob Mould is back in 2025 with his highly anticipated new album Here We Go Crazy, marking the former Husker Du frontman’s first LP in five years. Fans have been eagerly awaiting this moment, and now it’s finally here. Set to drop on March 7, this album is already stirring up excitement. To give us a taste of what’s to come, Mould has shared the title track and album opener, "Here We Go Crazy." Along with the release, there's a visually stunning music video directed by Gus Black.
Mould gave a sneak peek into the inspiration behind both the song and the video. “I’ve spent a lot of time in the Southern California desert in recent years, and that’s where we shot the video,” he shared. Imagine a vast, chilly wilderness perched atop a mountain, with expansive vistas stretching below, a reminder of how vast the world can feel. The desert setting perfectly captures the feeling of "going crazy," something that, according to Mould, can be interpreted in many ways. It might represent the pure joy of letting go, the uncertainty of the future, or the peaceful silence that comes with solitude.
Here We Go Crazy isn’t just a reflection of Mould’s time spent in nature; it’s also a dive into his artistic evolution. This is his first album since 2020’s Blue Hearts, and it was recorded at the legendary Electrical Audio in Chicago. Once again, Mould teamed up with his trusted rhythm section—drummer Jon Wurster and bassist Jason Narducy—who have been integral to his music for years. The trio will also be hitting the road this spring, bringing these new tracks to life live during their tour in support of the album.
If you’ve followed Bob Mould’s career, you’ll know he’s never been one to shy away from combining complexity with simplicity. And that’s exactly what Here We Go Crazy does. “On the surface, this is a collection of straightforward guitar-pop songs,” Mould explains. “I’m refining my core sound and style with simplicity, brevity, and clarity.” But as with much of Mould’s music, there’s more beneath the surface. The album explores themes that are as contrasting as they are compelling: control versus chaos, hypervigilance versus helplessness, and uncertainty versus unconditional love. It’s an album that resonates on multiple levels, with both raw emotion and sharp insight into the state of the world today.
Here’s a glimpse at the tracklist for Here We Go Crazy:
- Here We Go Crazy
- Neanderthal
- Breathing Room
- Hard To Get
- When Your Heart Is Broken
- Fur Mink Augurs
- Lost or Stolen
- Sharp Little Pieces

Each song promises to be a journey in itself, mixing Mould’s signature sound with fresh ideas that capture both his internal struggles and observations about the world around him.
