Steve Albini’s Shellac Announce First Album in 7 Years

July 2nd, 2014

Legendary producer Steve Albini keeps himself busy each year producing a slew of albums (Cloud Nothings, Neurosis, Nirvana), commenting on trends, and being the generally outspoken person he is. That being said, he hasn’t done much with his alt-rock band Shellac except the usual annual performance at Primavera Sound Festival in Barcelona. But now, after seven years, Shellac is making a return.

The band announced they will be putting out a new album this year titled Dude Incredible. Recorded at Albini’s Electrical Audio studio, the LP serves as the follow-up to 2007’s Excellent Italian Greyhound and will likely see the Chicago trio making as much boisterous, complex, and inexplicably loud rock as they usually do. Check out the tracklist and cover art below.

Dude Incredible tracklist:

1. “Dude Incredible”
2. “Compliant”
3. “You Came in Me”
4. “Riding Bikes”
5. “All the Surveyors”
6. “The People’s Microphone”
