Mould’s latest effort, Life And Times, drops April 7, with the single “I’m Sorry Baby but You Can’t Stand in My Light Anymore” to be available on iTunes March 3.

The new tunes coincide with visits to in San Francisco Feb. 28, an intimate show at Hollywood’s Hotel Café March 2 and an appearance at April 18.

Minneapolis, Philadelphia and New York are among some of the show stops in between. Mould is also expected to appear at the R.E.M. Benefit Tribute at Carnegie Hall March 11.

Funny how life works. Mould is playing intimate venues, even in places like Husker Du’s hometown of Minneapolis (Mould was the driving force of the famed ’80s alt-rock trio). We’re telling you: one day you’ll wish you had a chance to see him.
