General purpose letting you know.  Get the impression people aren't that arsed about their newer stuff but Dude, Incredible might be my favourite of theirs, so excited for this.

Excellent news, will be checking this out for sure.

I think I got a bit bored of them, saw them too many times and what have you. Quite pleased about a new album, might get me back onboard, so to speak.

[Calistan]

Dude, Incredible is fantastic but never really return to their older stuff. Due a revisit.

[Tarquin]

Yes! Saw them in Brighton about 3 years ago and they played, what I guess was, a bunch of songs from this - all really, really great and the highlights of the night - together with a guy proposing to his boyfriend during the Q&A (he said yes).

[LurkMcGee]

Quite excited.

I do like the rather obvious nod to The Fall with Track 8 on the tracklisting posted.

Throughly enjoyed the set they played in Cardeef in 2019.

[The Mollusk]

Part of me wonders if we really need another Shellac album a decade after the last one but another part of me will just fuckin hoover this thing right up now questions asked

[Cleveland Steamer]

I think they peaked with At Action Park myself but then I'm nowt but a louse.

They're touring here in June too. Always great live and they love playing the Brudenell so I'm pretty stoked.

[Kankurette]

At least the Tories won't be able to ruin them for me this time.

Leeds tickets sold out on the Brudenell's Seetickets link in less than a minute. I managed to get a couple via Jumbo, thankfully.

Ha! For context, when I saw Shellac in Manchester it was election night. I checked Facebook near the end of the gig to see how the election was going and found out Johnson had won in a landslide, and that put a real downer on the gig, which is a shame because it was a good gig.

Shellac playing the brude, fuck that would be worth the drive down from glasgow.

It was a surreal moment, Albini doing one of his rambling bits to the mic while the news rippled through the audience.

There was also that guy in the crowd who kept shouting to him to 'SPEAK INTO THE MIC' as though his awkward off-mic mumbling wasn't entirely deliberate.

Half tempted to go to this but it being at exactly the same venue makes it somehow less appealing.
