Steve Albini has announced that Shellac have recorded the “music part” of their first LP in six-plus years, the follow-up to Excellent Italian Greyhound. In a video interview with music journalist Vish Khanna, Albini reveals that the musical portion of the LP was wrapped as of April, with “most likely” nine songs on the as yet untiled release. Title and artwork still to come to, though Albini says it will mostly likely come out on Touch & Go. Check out the video interview below.
