1000 Hurts is the third studio album by American rock band Shellac, released on August 8, 2000.
In its official promotional materials Shellac jokingly described this album as follows: "There are no 12-minute songs on this one.
The cover is a clear homage to old Ampex audio recording tape boxes.
The title refers to one-thousand Hertz (rendered 1000 Hz), a measure used in audio recording describing a sine wave cycling 1,000 times per second.
[11] Jehnny Beth of Savages-fame named the album one of her biggest influences, saying that it had made her "want to be a bassist" & inspired her ideas of recording music.
