In between Hüsker Dü and his solo career, Bob Mould famously helmed the ’90s alt-rock outfit Sugar, who played their final concert in January 1995. While Mould performed the band’s debut album Copper Blue on tour in 2012, there were never any inklings of an official reunion until the launch of new social accounts last week. Now, lo and behold: Sugar have announced shows for 2026, and have a new song out now.
Ahead of gigs in New York City (May 2 and 3) and London, UK, (May 23 and 24) next spring, Sugar have released “House of Dead Memories” — their first new music since the 1994 album File Under: Easy Listening, as well as the 1995 compilation Besides and a 2015 live album recorded back in 1994. This June, Mould, David Barbe and Malcolm Travis recorded new material at the Tiny Telephone studio in Oakland, CA.
“I don’t want to get out too far in front of the skis, as they say,” Mould told Rolling Stone of the extent of Sugar’s reunion plans. “People’s reactions will probably guide a lot of the possibilities in front of us, whether it’s more songs or more shows. All three of us are all in for whatever feels right. I just want to see if people are still interested.”
“House of Dead Memories” arrives alongside a music video constructed via archival footage of the band. Check that out below.
