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. 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.Arms raw yawp and his bandmates long-honed chemistry make Digital Garbage an ideal release valve for the 2018 pressure cooker. My sense of humor is dark, and these are dark times, says Arm. I suppose its only getting darker.
