The legendary producer who recorded music for bands including Nirvana, the Pixies, and PJ Harvey dies after a heart attack.
An engineer at his studio Electrical Audio Recording said he died after a heart attack on Tuesday night.
Brian Fox, an engineer at Albini's studio Electrical Audio Recording, said that Albini died after a heart attack on Tuesday night, local time. At the time of his death, Albini's band Shellac were preparing to tour their first new album in a decade, To All Trains, which releases next week. While attending Northwestern in the early 80s, he founded the abrasive, noisy post-punk band Big Black, known for its mordant riffs, violent and taboo lyrics, and a drum machine in lieu of a live drummer.
In the early 90s, he formed Shellac, the ferocious, distorted noise-rock band — an evolution from Big Black, but still punctuated by pummelling guitar tones and aggressive vocals."The recording part is the part that matters to me — that I'm making a document that records a piece of our culture, the life's work of the musicians that are hiring me," Albini told The Guardian last year, when asked about some of the well-known and much-loved albums he's recorded.
