Replete with hillbilly guitar licks, Shellac’s title track from their first LP in seven years is a nefarious bellow; a gritty narrative about piece of shit dudes, maybe from an ancient era, maybe not. As an aside, my favourite piece of audience interaction happened during Shellac’s inter-song Q and A during Melbourne Festival a few years back, “Which one of you is Steve Albini?”
