It’s the latest track taken from the former Husker Du musician’s upcoming album Blue Hearts, with Mould debuting American Crisis from the follow-up to 2019’s Sunshine Rock last month.

 

The song is a response to the moment last month when Black Lives Matter protestors outside the White House were tear-gassed to clear the way for US President Donald Trump to pose with a bible outside St John’s Episcopal Church in Washington DC.

 

Mould is joined on the new album by bassist Jason Narducy and drummer Jon Wurster, with longtime collaborator Beau Sorenson handling engineering duties.
