Steve Albini-fronted band Shellac have returned with their first new album in a decade. To all trainsa tragic and bittersweet release that comes just a week after Albini's passing.
Spanning 10 songs, To all trains It is Shellac's first release since 2014 amazing friend, and features the trio: Albini (guitar and vocals), Bob Weston (bass) and Todd Trainer (drums), in signature form. The album was recorded in Chicago “over several long weekends” in the late 2010s and early 20s. It was completed and mastered by Albini and Weston last year.
Now, after Albini's death from a heart attack last week, the album arrives as a moving tribute to the life and work of the legendary engineer. In a statement released last week, Corey Rusk, Albini's longtime friend and founder of Touch and Go Records, which released To all trains — said: “It is incomprehensible that Steve will not be here when it is published next week.”

Shellac was originally scheduled to open the farewell show for hardcore supergroup OFF! in Chicago this July, but unfortunately, the band's future without Albini is uncertain.
