2541


2541 is the first solo EP by Grant Hart, formerly of the band Hüsker Dü. It was his first solo release after the break-up of Hüsker Dü in January 1988 and was released as a 3-inch mini CD single and as a 12-inch, 45 rpm vinyl single.
"2541" and "Come, Come" were re-recorded for the album Intolerance.
The name was inspired by 2541 Nicollet Avenue in Minneapolis, the headquarters of influential independent record label Twin/Tone Records. For a time, Hüsker Dü had an office space next door to Twin/Tone at 2539.

Critical reception

Ira Robbins, in Trouser Press, called the title track "a touchingly sad acoustic folk-rock number with a typically catchy melody." The Encyclopedia of Popular Music wrote that Grant's "anger at the ending of Hüsker Dü... was eloquently mounted on the back of a downbeat, acoustic number."
