Mould - Hoping as a Coping Mechanism LP (Indies Exclusive Marble Colour Vinyl) (Due Out 16/10/2026)

Please note; this is a pre-order item due for release 16th October 2026.

Written in snatches of time in hometown Bristol, recorded in London's 5dB Studios and produced by Sean Oakley (Georgia, Scaler, Sorry), who flew in from LA especially for the project, Hoping as a Coping Mechanism is the strongest display of Mould's talents yet. In their own words, it's "more focussed, paced and thought-out."

Over 13 tracks that explore the horrors of the outside world and the internal minefield of the brain, Mould's debut also hits with the thrills of a brilliant live band who've distilled that energy to tape. The title comes from a line taken from the time signature-warping 'Emotive Language' that distills what it means to be a band in 2026 down to one concise sentiment.
