Bob Mould's new song "The Descent" - See the video

The first track and video from Bob Mould's new album, "Silver Age," has surfaced, and it represents a return to the wall-of-guitar sound he perfected in his earlier bands Husker Du and Sugar.

The new video -- which shows Mould escaping the corporate world for life off the grid -- was shot earlier this year in Portland, OR, and directed by Alicia J. Rose.

"Silver Age" is due out Sept. 4 on Merge, and will mark Mould's first album for the label.
