Are there any bands (not solo artists) that made consistently great music for more than 20 years? Without ever breaking up and reforming?

Shellac

Only 5 albums.

Sure, but they're all stellar.

Isn’t Shellac basically just Steve Albini?

Steve Albini, Bob Weston, and Todd Trainer since day 1. Bob is also an engineer (he focuses on mastering), and he and Steve do not only the engineering/mixing/mastering, but also the build and wiring of their custom amps and gear (Bob also works as "tape manipulator" for Mission of Burma, filling the role of founder Martin Swope).

Bob & Steve play aluminum neck Travis Bean guitars, and split vocal duties roughly 85% Steve / 15% Bob.

And then drummer Todd Trainer brings a sparse and idiosyncratic take to his instrument, when he's not performing solo as bricklayercake.

So it’s just Albini then

I wonder if that means "we have instrumental tracks 95% complete, just need vox and final touches," or more like "We've demo'd a ton of songs, now we need to actually track them."

= some riffs and a rough structure of:
verse > chorus > verse > chorus > bridge > flub > bad outro

WTF are “song forms?”

LetMeSleep · **Posted:** Thu May 10, 2018 2:53 am

There was no elaborating on this.

Someone recorded a fart, Brendan mixed it into the form of a song.

With a piano intro and fadeout at the end.

Let's hope we get a raw leak.
