DATA

This is Shellac’s fifth LP. Recording took place sporadically over the past few years at Steve's ELECTRICAL AUDIO studios in Chicago. The record was mastered by Steve Rooke at ABBEY ROAD. There is no comma in ‘Dude Incredible’; like Sir Duke or King Friday, for example.

PACKAGING

Both the CD and LP version of Dude Incredible come packaged in a chipboard album jacket with two high gloss, full color monkeys on the front cover. The LP includes a CD of the full album.

QC

Audio quality is paramount, as always, with Shellac. The LP was mastered entirely in the analog domain, using the DMM (Direct Metal Mastering) process. The LPs are being manufactured at RTI in Camarillo, CA, using their HQ-180 system. The pressings are 180 gram audiophile quality.

I'll check that, thanks for the news! Meanwhile, also digging the Bob Weston-inclusive Martha's Vineyard Ferries EP, Mass. Grave, which comes out 10/15/14.

dow, Tuesday, 1 July 2014 18:37 (ten years ago)

haha man that's supposed to have been out forever too, these guys take their time. but hell i guess it's basically a high profile hobby band at this point so why not?

sinister porpoise (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Tuesday, 1 July 2014 18:39 (ten years ago)

I've sent a message out requesting a "Dude Incredible" proof of life=Trainer holding the record along with today's newspaper

chr1sb3singer, Tuesday, 1 July 2014 18:47 (ten years ago)

I think I'm a bigger fan of their song titles than of their music.

Immediate Follower (NA), Tuesday, 1 July 2014 19:29 (ten years ago)

I like this, as far as non-album versions of their songs:

heavy on their trademark ballads (Eazy), Tuesday, 1 July 2014 19:36 (ten years ago)

yeah that BBC version is unbelievable, so good

polyamanita (sleeve), Tuesday, 1 July 2014 20:06 (ten years ago)

damn that's awesome

sinister porpoise (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Tuesday, 1 July 2014 20:08 (ten years ago)

is that the one where he toasts martina navratilova, coz if so then yeah it's about 48294x better than the album version

avicii usque ad arse (imago), Tuesday, 1 July 2014 20:10 (ten years ago)

yep

polyamanita (sleeve), Tuesday, 1 July 2014 20:12 (ten years ago)

I wish these dudes would eventually do an singles and odd track type collection. That would be rad.

earlnash, Wednesday, 2 July 2014 01:12 (ten years ago)

never knew about this:
http://www.discogs.com/%E3%82%B7%E3%82%A7%E3%83%A9%E3%83%83%E3%82%AF-%E3%83%A9%E3%82%A4%E3%83%B4%E3%82%A4%E3%83%B3%E6%9D%B1%E4%BA%AC/release/380529

all the singles & splits & comp tracks along with The Futurist and the BBC session, that would be a nice 2LP

polyamanita (sleeve), Wednesday, 2 July 2014 05:40 (ten years ago)

This is a really good fan-made comp

three months pass...

so this is growing on me some after leaving me cold on initial first listen several weeks back.

"all the surveyors" especially

RAP GAME SHANI DAVIS (Raymond Cummings), Monday, 6 October 2014 22:54 (ten years ago)

a friend of mine who is a big Shellac fan was raving abt this to me & said it was his favorite since AAP, I will have to check this out.

sleeve, Monday, 6 October 2014 22:55 (ten years ago)

I think it's fantastic and, yeah, I might agree with the argument of this being the best since Action Park.

ƋППṍӮɨ∏ğڵșěᶉᶇдM℮ (jon /via/ chi 2.0), Monday, 6 October 2014 23:11 (ten years ago)

my local shop keeps buying, like, three of these at at time, and they keep selling before I can buy one. Grrrr

Jimmywine Dyspeptic, Friday, 10 October 2014 20:47 (ten years ago)

two weeks pass...

1000 hurts is prob still a bit better (in terms of the best since aap discussion) but this is excellent. shellac imo is supposed to be sort of the stiff bracing drink of music and this one really hits the spot.

call all destroyer, Tuesday, 28 October 2014 02:57 (ten years ago)

one month passes...

this is really great
they are so honed in on their weird little brand of off kilter hard rock riffs now it's kinda amazing

you say tomato/i say imago (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Tuesday, 16 December 2014 20:34 (ten years ago)

FUCK THE KING!

im enjoying this slab of aggressive whimsy from stevie and the lads.

everyday sheeple (Michael B), Wednesday, 17 December 2014 11:35 (ten years ago)

1000 hurts is prob still a bit better (in terms of the best since aap discussion)

yeah, but dude comes damn close. wish the opening riff went on another 20-30 minutes tho.

Adding ease. Adding wonder. Adding (contenderizer), Wednesday, 17 December 2014 12:56 (ten years ago)

I'm one of the weirdos who thinks Terraform is the best album

you say tomato/i say imago (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Wednesday, 17 December 2014 14:18 (ten years ago)

as am I but I need to hear this one

imago, Wednesday, 17 December 2014 14:20 (ten years ago)

Terraform IS their best album. It took me ten years to realise this.

nate woolls, Wednesday, 17 December 2014 15:01 (ten years ago)

FUCK THE KING!

lol almost posted this in response to UMS

some kind of terrible IDM with guitars (sleeve), Wednesday, 17 December 2014 15:14 (ten years ago)

i could see cases for AAP, TF, 1000hhz, and DI....the only thing certain is that Excellent Italian Greyhound is by far the worst Shellac album

Actually, the best Shellac album is the singles/b-sides/compilation tracks/the Futurists 2LP set that they for some reason won't put out
