S11E05 - with Steve Albini! (Part Two)

And here's Part Two - make sure you've listened to Part One first!
Woah! This week Gareth and Ryan chat with legendary sound recordist and guitarist/frontman of the abrasive noise-rock band, Shellac. It's a lengthy chat so we've split the episode into two parts...we chat about the recording and inspiration behind the first new Shellac album in ten years ( 'To All Trains' is out in May on Touch and Go)
The rest of the show has the theme of "'songs where the producer is a well-known musician"
