Bob Mould, of seminal bands Hüsker Dü and Sugar, has announced his first release since joining up with Merge Records earlier this year. The new full-length will be titled Silver Age and is due out September 4, 2012. The album is being described as "in the punishingly loud, melodically sparkling pop/rock vein of the Sugar catalogue."

In addition to Mould's new solo album, Merge will be re-releasing Sugar's catalog next month.
