Shellac return with their sixth album and the first in ten years “To All Trains” is the unexpected, tragic swan song for the late Steve Albini’s long-running post-hardcore band Shellac — but what a project to go out on. Clocking in at less than 30 minutes in runtime, the record distills the Shellac formula down to its essentials: off-kilter riffs, powerful drumming, and an aging punk’s sense of humour. It’s idiosyncratic, irreverent, and beautiful, offering longtime fans and newcomers alike a concise introduction to the trio’s magic.
