"It's marketing, which is maybe my most hated thing on earth. Like, fascism is up there, but marketing is right behind, you know?"

—Shellac guitarist Steve Albini on the decision to not send out promotional copies of any of their records to press outlets[3]

To All Trains is the sixth studio album by American rock band Shellac, released by Touch and Go Records on May 17, 2024.[4] It is the first original studio effort by the band in a decade and is the final recording made before band member Steve Albini's death days prior to the album's release. The recording was made around the band's touring over the course of several years and was not promoted with advance copies, specific tour dates, or singles.[5] The release coincided with Shellac's music being available on several streaming services for the first time in years.[6]
