SHELLAC
Started in an informal setting between infamous engineer and guitarist Steve Albini (ex-Just Ducky, Big Black, Rapeman)
and drummer Todd Trainer (ex-Rifle Sport, Brick Layer Cake) in 1992, Shellac came into full formation after
Albini invited bassist Bob Weston (ex-Sorry, Volcano Suns) to move to Chicago, employing him as an engineer at his studio.
A clutch of singles soon appeared in 1993 and 1994 on Touch & Go and Drag City

SLEEVE EX but (please, see pictures and read above description)
Three and a half years is a long time between albums, especially for indie rock bands.
Though Steve Albini and Bob Weston were busy with their respective production careers,
the wait between Shellac's 1994 debut album and 1998's Terraform doesn't seem
to have done the group any good. What sinks Terraform more than anything else
is the opening track, a ten-minute dirge with a repetitive riff and little else to recommend it.
After that, the album gets better yet still sounds remarkably similar to the debut,
if slightly less noisy (much of it was recorded at the Beatles' Abbey Road Studios)...(AllMusic)
