Blue Hearts is deliberately, almost defiantly, not a subtle album. It strips back the electronic textures of Mould’s 2010s work (e.g., Silver Age , Patch the Sky ) in favor of raw power chords, relentless drums, and vocals that alternate between snarl and chant. Tracks like “American Crisis” and “The Ocean” are built on repeating, hypnotic riffs—musical equivalents of a protest march.
