Solo performer: Bob Mould (vocals, various instruments). Recorded at Cedar Creek Recording, Congress House and Granary 5, Austin, Texas in September and October 1995. Recording information: Cedar Creek recording, Austin, TX (09/1995-10/1995); Congress House Studio, Austin, TX (09/1995-10/1995); Granary 5, Austin, TX (09/1995-10/1995). Photographer: Mark C. . After dissolving his second power trio, Sugar, Bob Mould wrote and recorded BOB MOULD (a self-titled release sometimes referred to as HUBCAB, due to its cover art). The credits even proclaim "Bob Mould is Bob Mould," and "This one is for me." The fact that the album was written and performed by one man, however, does not mean that this is a low-fi aberration--rather, it's a sonically dense but extremely controlled excursion, and the next logical step in his career. Standouts include the brittle "I Hate Alternative Rock," "Egoveride," a crunching rocker featuring a wicked overdriven guitar sound, and an astonishingly bitter series of end-of-the-relationship songs. Among them are "Anymore Time Between," easily one of Mould's most painful moments, "Next Time That You Leave," a poignant, mostly restrained (except for the seething choruses) affair, and the intensely angry "Hair Stew," where the self-loathing lyrics are colored with searing feedback squelches. With its downer lyrics, BOB MOULD is not an easy record to like; however if everyone's cathartic release was to record albums this good, the world would be a much better place.
