Steve Albini passed away at 61.

It is with great sadness that we report the passing of Steve Albini, an audio engineer, artist, and producer, at the age of 61. Today, the music world has lost a talented, knowledgeable, and generous music maker who not only made significant contributions to some incredible records but also led the way for a more ethical approach that helped define the moral, aesthetic, and practical principles of alternative and indie music.

Steve Albini is best known for his work on albums such as Surfer Rosa (Pixies), In Utero (Nirvana), as well as recent indie bands such as Cloud Nothings. He will be deeply missed by his fans and the music industry as a whole.

Albini has been an inspiration for an entire generation of recording engineers and artists. His philosophy is to stay true to the sound of the artist, rather than creating a commercial product just for the sake of sales or streams. Although his uncompromising attitude has caused some controversy in the past, his integrity has left an indelible legacy of passion and attitude that will be hard to match.
