Bob Mould

Modulate

Mould’s excellence as a songwriter is tied to his ability to constantly evolve and progress his skill. But while his foray into electronic music with Modulate wasn’t a total disaster, it always seemed like something of a one-off experiment.

The album wasn’t exactly lapped up by Mould’s loyal fan base, and with 2005’s followup solo album Body Of Song he returned to more familiar territory. As well as the two solo albums listed here, also worth investigating are 2008’s District Line and 1990’s Black Sheets Of Rain, the dark and brooding follow-up to debut solo Workbook.
