Bob Mould will embark on a solo tour in the U.S. in September and October. The musician’s Solo Electric Tour is set to kick off Sept. 6 at Montgomery, New York’s City Winery Hudson Valley and will conclude Oct. 25 at Atlanta’s The Earl.

Mould previewed the trek with the release of a new live recording, “Breathing Room (Live Solo Electric),” which marks his first music since 2020. A press release describes it as “one of many new songs to come.”

“I’m looking forward to bringing even more new material to everyone this fall,” Mould said in a statement. “Generally speaking, the new compositions are brief, catchy, and simplistic in structure. The focus of this writing cycle is memorable pop songs, and I can’t wait to test drive the new work in this stripped down Solo Electric setting!”

Mould also has three shows scheduled for July, including at the Nelsonville Music Festival in Ohio and Out of Space Skokie in Illinois, which are being billed as part of the Solo Electric Tour. He will head to Australia and New Zealand in November and December. Tickets are available via his website.

Mould’s last LP, Blue Hearts, arrived in 2022. He followed it with 2022’s The Ocean EP, which contained songs from Blue Hearts as well as one from his formative band Hüsker Dü.
