Bob Mould: 'The Silence Between Us' (Beggars Banquet) In which the former Husker Du man comes across like a haunted ghost of Kurt Cobain, with it's angsty lyrics and rockist bombast, it could well be part of some sort of teenage revolutionary rebellion. Pretty ordinary meat and potatoes American rock that's not at all fashionable but produced with some aplomb. File under American College Rock.Having left a permanent mark with both his bands, Hüsker Dü and Sugar, and with a half-dozen, uncompromising solo albums released during and after these bands lived, Bob has long been regarded as a name at the forefront of American music. Not one for sentiment, Bob prefers to ignore his legacy and “cult status”, going straight to what he does best – namely that of making hair-raisingly emotional, undeniably catchy, loud, mature, guitar rock.·‘The Silence Between Us’, the first single to be taken off ‘District Line’, is an inimitable blasting, bursting, guitar-smacked single. The perfect Bob Mould record. ·Accompanying this single is a live version of the Sugar classic, ‘If I Can’t Change Your Mind’, which was recorded at the 9:30 Club in Bob’s adopted home of Washington DC and it can also be found on his recent ‘Circle of Friends’ live DVD.
