Recording, release, and promotion

Plastic Eternity features the first Mudhoney songs written with someone outside the band, producer Johnny Sangster, who appears on several tracks. The album was written during the COVID-19 pandemic and recorded in nine days at the Seattle studio Crackle & Pop before bassist Guy Maddison moved to Australia. The album was promoted by the single "Almost Everything" and a world tour.[1] Singles "Move Under" and "Little Dogs" followed.[2]

April 7, 2023 was proclaimed Mudhoney Day by King County, Washington to coincide with the album release.[2]

Reception

Plastic Eternity received positive reviews from critics noted at review aggregator Metacritic. It has a weighted average score of 79 out of 100, based on five reviews.[3]

Glide Magazine notes unexpected moments in the music, such as the inclusion of love ballad "Little Dogs" and the publication sums up the review that the recording is "a fun alternative album that channels political fury into a fiery collection of aggressive rock".[4]
