Mudhoney recording new album

Seattle elder statesmen Mudhoney are in the process of recording a new album for long-time label Sub Pop.

Currently, the new project is without title and is tentatively scheduled for an early-2006 release. Production duties will be split between Phil Ek (Modest Mouse, The Shins), Johnny Sangster (The Posies, Young Fresh Fellows) and Tucker Martine (Jesse Sykes, Steve Turner). Additionally, several tracks will feature backup vocal harmonies by Christy McWilson and Amy Allison (daughter of Mose Allison), while a horn section peppers some of the album's other songs.
