Mudhoney
Since We’ve Become Translucent
(Sub Pop, 2002)
Glorious, skronk-grunge comeback album from August 2002.
2008 is the year of Mudhoney. Well, around our house it is. Twenty (count ’em) years since Superfuzz Bigmuff set the tooth-rattling bar for the pre-Nevermind Seattle sound, its perpetrators have a new album in May. The loser generation’s losers, Mudhoney were Sub Pop’s biggest success story before the other lot met that Butch Vig, but their re-tooling of garage rock, punk brio and venomous humour never infiltrated the mainstream and they split in 1999. When they regrouped with a new bassist (Guy Maddison) in 2002 they’d made the best album of their career, but true to form, history trundled on oblivious. Since We’ve Become Translucent has all the caustic personality and ramalama riffing of the grunge-era Honeys but takes them right out there in an opening blast of skronking horns (Baby Can You Dig The Light) and mind-bending space rock (Sonic Infusion). While as menacing statement of intent, there are few more self-aware then Our Time Is Now. Say it again – someone might be listening this time.
