UNDER A BILLION SUNS

Mudhoney is a four-piece rock group from the old, weird
Seattle. For 18 years they have plugged into wall sockets
all over the world, proving to be one of the most consistently
electrifying acts to survive the grunge implosion, whatever
that was. The wolfish howls of singer Mark Arm, soulful
splatterings of guitarist Steve Turner and frenzied fills of
drummer Dan Peters have produced 9 albums to date, most
of which are considered neo-garage classics. In addition,
they have had two bassists over the years, Matt Lukin, who
retired in 1999, later replaced by the inimitable Australian
Guy Maddison.

As with all the times before, it took a wall socket for
Mudhoney to happen again. Under a Billion Suns is the
band''''s new long-player and it''''s performed with the same
amplified urgency of their previous work. While history has
shown musicians to be a largely unreliable lot, Mudhoney
has never swayed in its vision of making really loud rock
music and this album is no exception. Produced with the
help of three notable knobsters (Phil Ek, Johnny Sangster,
Tucker Martine) and boasting a blaring horn section, Under
a Billion Suns exposes a more snidely political-fueled side
to our shaggy heroes, but one revealed through the invariables
of the Mudhoney recipe: thick, soggy punk riffs and
underrated guitar dynamics, psychedelic tangents and
snot-nosed finger-pointing. It is loud, it is fierce, and it is
here for our world right now. Lucky for us, so is Mudhoney.
