Since the late ’80s, Mudhoney -the Seattle-based foursome whose muck-crusted version of rock, shot through with caustic wit and battened down by a ferocious low end- has been a high-pH tonic against the ludicrous and the insipid. Thirty years later, the world is experiencing a particularly high-water moment for both those ideals. But just in time, vocalist Mark Arm, guitarist Steve Turner, bassist Guy Maddison, and drummer Dan Peters are back with ‘Digital Garbage’, a barbed-wire-trimmed collection of sonic brickbats. Arm’s raw yawp and his bandmates’ long-honed chemistry make ‘Digital Garbage’ an ideal release valve for the 2018 pressure cooker.
