Default Shellac AKA Shellac Of North America

Another band I'm checking out at the moment. A project of uber-producer Steve Albini. This 3 piece have a stripped down minimalist rock sound that dispenses with the usual verse/chorus scenario and instead goes for repetitive motif's and scathing lyrics. I love the natural sound of their album TERRAFORM and I am itching to hear more.

that's an itch i could hypothetically scratch.

shellac are pretty awesome, though I would say I prefer Big Black.

Steve Albini is a musical genius. All his bands are amazing. Shellac's first LP 'At Action Park' rules.
'Atomizer' by Big Black is ace as well. Check out the song 'Kerosene'.
Rapeman is my fav Albini project. 'Two Nuns....' is one of my all-time fav LPs.

Never really understood the wankfest over Albini's bands.

I own both Shellac & Big Black stuff and while I think they are far from bad I've never really thought of them as being that great either.

I think he's a much better producer than he is a musician & songwriter myself.

remind me to send you a link to a website next time we're on msn. It's quite useful and relevant to this thread.
