Bob Mould has announced the October release of Distortion Anthology, a 24 CD box set spanning his career from 1989–2019. Assembled by Mould himself, it includes 18 studio albums, four live albums and two albums of rarities and collaborations documenting music made under his own name and with Sugar, plus his electronica projects Loudbomb and Blowoff, and more.

“It’s called Distortion because it describes the music and it fits the world we live in,” explains Mould. “In this new age, everybody shares their life in real time. But I’m not done yet. If I didn't have a constantly active career, this anthology might feel like the proverbial dirt landing on top of my coffin – though somehow I seem to be able to crawl my way out of the dirt every time!”

Remastered by Jeff Lipton, the box set features new artwork by Simon Marchner, unseen ephemera and sleevenotes from Keith Cameron, including an interview. Also forthcoming is a series of four vinyl box sets covering the same 30 year period.

Watch Mould performing “Could You Be The One?”, a song from Hüsker Dü’s sixth and final studio album Warehouse: Songs And Stories (1987), at Washington DC's 9:30 Club in October 2005, and included on the anthology’s Distortion Plus: 1989–2019 rarities and collaborations disc.
