Mudhoney - Mudhoney

Originally released in 1989, Mudhoney’s self-titled debut remains the "hallucinatory revelation" that defined the grit, humor, and "clattering catharsis" of the early grunge movement. Following the success of the Superfuzz Bigmuff EP, Mark Arm, Steve Turner, Matt Lukin, and Dan Peters doubled down on their "distorted, garage-punk fury." Recorded at Reciprocal Recording with Jack Endino, the album is a "vibrant and brilliant" explosion of fuzz-drenched guitars and "otherworldly wails" that served as a "soul-baring" alternative to the polished rock of the era.

To celebrate over three decades of the "slacker-rock" crown, Sub Pop Records has kept this "unflinchingly honest" masterpiece in print with high-quality reissues. The most recent editions feature remastered audio that preserves the "rib-rattling bass" and "ten-ton groove" of classics like "This Gift" and "Flat Out Fucked." Whether you are a "disciple of the fuzz" or a newcomer to the "Bay Area-adjacent" energy of the PNW, this LP is the definitive "cinematic landscape" of 80s underground rock.
