Filthy Friends – Emerald Valley (LP Vinyl)
Product Details
Corin Tucker and Peter Buck have been orbiting each other in the Pacific Northwest rock world for decades, and Filthy Friends is where that long mutual respect finally became a working band. Buck's post-R.E.M. restlessness, Tucker's Sleater-Kinney pedigree, and McCaughey's deep roots in the Seattle scene make this a collaboration with real history behind it, not just names on a marquee.
Emerald Valley is the sophomore effort from supergroup Filthy Friends, out May 3 on Kill Rock Stars. This album finds Corin Tucker, Peter Buck, Scott McCaughey, Kurt Bloch, and new drummer Linda Pitmon flexing their muscles both sonically and thematically: the music contains more surprises and sophistication, while the lyrics take on the current state of our planet and our people. The album title and title track come from another name for Eugene, OR, Tuckers home city, and evolved, in her words, into a sort of manifesto about the kind of place we are at as a country but also as a region. Just taking stock of where were at and feeling like I cant believe we let things get this bad.
