The former H\u00fcsker D\u00fc frontman\u2019s skillful merging of those disparate qualities has led to his status as a kind of all-things-to-all-people artist. On <em>Patch the Sky<\/em>, the midtempo \u201cVoices in My Head\u201d and the speedier \u201cThe End of Things\u201d should please listeners who demand guitars set on stun as well as those who insist on top-notch melodic quotient. Mould has a particular knack for crafting skewed vocal harmonies by overdubbing his own voice in the studio; those voicings really shouldn&#8217;t work, but somehow do.
