{"product_id":"blue-hearts","title":"Blue Hearts","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn the winter of 2019, Bob Mould bucked the era’s despair with his most melodic, upbeat album in ages, \u003ci\u003eSunshine Rock\u003c\/i\u003e. Cut to spring of 2020, and he has this to say: “We’re really in deep now.”\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThat sentiment informs the new full-length album, \u003ci\u003eBlue Hearts,\u003c\/i\u003e the raging-but-catchy yin to \u003ci\u003eSunshine Rock’s\u003c\/i\u003e yang. Recorded at the famed Electrical Audio in Chicago with Sorenson engineering and Mould producing, \u003ci\u003eBlue Hearts\u003c\/i\u003e nods to Mould’s past while remaining firmly planted in the issues of the day. Acoustic opener \u003ci\u003eHeart on My Sleeve \u003c\/i\u003ecatalogues the ravages of climate change. \u003ci\u003eNext Generation\u003c\/i\u003e worries for who comes next. \u003ci\u003eAmerican Crisis\u003c\/i\u003e references “Evangelical ISIS” and features this dagger of a line: “Pro-life, pro-life until you make it in someone else’s wife.”\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eLeather Dreams, Password to My Soul,\u003c\/i\u003e and\u003ci\u003e The Ocean\u003c\/i\u003e were composed during a writing binge before a January 2020 Solo Electric tour, when Mould stayed up for three straight days. That feels right for an explosive, hook-laden album like \u003ci\u003eBlue Hearts\u003c\/i\u003e. Only there’s nothing forgettable about it.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Merge Records","offers":[{"title":"Black | LP","offer_id":50383907357003,"sku":"1094706","price":22.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"White | LP","offer_id":50383907946827,"sku":"1094707","price":22.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"Blue | LP","offer_id":50383907651915,"sku":"1098591","price":22.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"CD","offer_id":50383907520843,"sku":"1094703","price":12.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/c5ecaaaf-43b3-42a9-8d0e-dd109eba600a_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1726278025","url":"https:\/\/shop.roughtrade.com\/fr\/products\/blue-hearts","provider":"Rough Trade","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
