Since We've Become Translucent is the sixth studio album by the grunge band Mudhoney, released in 2002.[5] The album was the first to be recorded after the departure of their original bassist, Matt Lukin, three years earlier.[6] It was also the first to be released through Sub Pop after the band returned to the label.

Since We've Become Translucent marked a prominent change in the band's sound. The album was a departure from their typical garage-oriented sound and features a relatively accessible Rock sound. However, on tracks such as "Baby, Can You Dig the Light?", Psychedelica, Synthpop, and Jazz are explored.
