Plastic Eternity is the eleventh studio album by American grunge band Mudhoney, released on April 7, 2023, and their eighth on Sub Pop. The album received positive critical reviews, with a Metacritic score of 78 out of 100 based on six reviews.
It marks the first time Mudhoney collaborated with someone outside the band during the songwriting process. Producer Johnny Sangster contributed ideas and appeared on several tracks. Most of the songs were not fully written before entering the studio, which was uncharacteristic for the band. Drummer Dan Peters also took a more active role in songwriting, contributing riffs and chord progressions to several tracks including "Human Stock Capital," "One or Two," and "Little Dogs."
The album was written during the COVID-19 pandemic and recorded over nine days at the Seattle studio Crackle & Pop, just before bassist Guy Maddison moved to Australia. It was promoted with the singles "Almost Everything," "Move Under," and "Little Dogs," followed by a world tour.
April 7, 2023, was declared Mudhoney Day in King County, Washington to coincide with the album’s release.
