Bob Mould today debuted the music video for “The Descent,” the first single off his forthcoming album Silver Age, and, as you can see above (via Pitchfork), the clip finds the suited rocker seemingly abandoning his life of corporate serfdom for a back-to-nature foray into the local woods.

Bob Mould is set to release his first new album in three years in less than a month, and Merge Records this morning offered up the first taste of Silver Age in the form of lead single “The Descent,” which, perhaps not surprisingly, is very reminiscent of Mould’s ’90s work with Sugar.

Bob Mould will release a new album called ‘Silver Age’ that Merge Records likens to the ‘punishingly loud, melodically sparkling pop/rock vein of the Sugar catlalog’ — a fitting comparison, since Mould will tour the album in the U.S. this fall by playing that band’s ‘Copper Blue’ front-to-back.
