"The Descent" comes from Silver Age, the tenth solo album by Bob Mould, the man who fronted Hüsker Dü and Sugar, and it's his from top to bottom: he wrote the words and music, sings lead, plays guitar and keyboards, adds percussion and produced it. The rhythm section is the one he took out on the road for the record, Jason Narducy on bass and Superchunk's Jon Wurster on drums, with Wurster adding percussion as well. Beau Sorenson engineered, with Nathan Winter assisting, and Nic Pope assisted on the mix.
The album came out in September 2012, and the tour behind it had a twist: alongside the new songs and a few Hüsker Dü numbers, the trio played Sugar's Copper Blue straight through, in order, while a 20th anniversary edition of that album came out at the same time.
