Album Notes & Community Reviews

Formed by former H眉sker D眉 frontman Bob Mould, Sugar's debut 'Copper Blue' is a masterful collision of muscular alternative rock and pristine pop melody. The album balances incredibly dense, noisy guitar distortion with highly energetic, triumphant power pop hooks, resulting in a bittersweet summer rock classic.
