Earlier this month, Bob Mould treated fans to the first taste of his upcoming 11th solo album Beauty & Ruin, issuing a “pure adrenalin shot” called “Hey Mr. Grey.” That wasn’t the first official single off the upcoming 35-minute record, though. The single, “I Don’t Know You Anymore,” dropped this week.
