Steve Albini was an icon to many people, and his work and life was often synonymous with Chicago, the city he called home in his adult life — where he began recording musicians, built his Electrical Audio studio, and established his own bands Big Black, Rapeman, and Shellac, all of whom released material on Chicago-based Touch and Go Records. Corey Rusk, owner of the renown indie label, wrote a tribute to his friend of 40 years following Albini’s untimely death at the age of 61 on Tuesday.

Starting in the Eighties, Butch Vig and Steve Albini, who died Tuesday at 61, had one of the most interesting symbiotic relationships in indie rock. Both were recording bands in their studios, in Milwaukee and Chicago, respectively. Both played in bands. “Neither of us went to recording school,” Vig says. “We just figured it out on the fly.”
Vig produced Nirvana’s Nevermind, but when the band wanted a less glossy sound for its follow-up, In Utero, they turned to Albini. The famously outspoken Albini wasn’t afraid to zing Vig...

Big Black guitarist Santiago Durango remembered his bandmate Steve Albini as a “caring and giving person” whose sudden death earlier this week “has left a huge hole in my life.”
In a statement shared with Rolling Stone, Durango said the news of Albini’s death from a heart attack at the age of 61 was a “total gut punch.” He was “too young,” Durango continued. “I always believed Steve would outlive me. It makes me happy to know Steve lived a full life doing what he wanted to do.”

If all Steve Albini ever did with music was complain about it, he still would have reigned as one of its most brilliant provocateurs. But Albini came to make noise — as a punk guitarist, as a producer, as a writer —with rock’s most notoriously savage sense of humor. “I like noise,” he declared in a hugely influential 1986 manifesto in the fanzine Forced Exposure. “I like big-ass vicious noise that makes my head spin. I wanna feel it whipping through me like a fucking jolt. We’re so dilapidated and...

Steve Albini, the revolutionary music engineer who helped define the sounds of the ‘80s and ‘90s, has passed away at 61. The cause of death has been ruled a heart attack.
Following a bout on the zine scene, Steve Albini hit the music world full force in the 1980s, founding pivotal punk band Big Black, which helped evolve the genre past expectations and was a seminal band of the post-hardcore movement. He, too, formed Shellac in the early ‘90s.
But outside of these bands, Steve Albini was by far better known to music lovers of the era for his work as an engineer. The first major record he worked on was the Pixies’ Surfer Rosa in 1988, an album so influential for Nirvana that they insisted on bringing Albini on board for their Nevermind follow-up, In Utero, with Kurt Cobain himself noting that the drums alone would be enough to change their sound.

Steve Albini, a singer and guitarist best known for producing some of the most groundbreaking and influential albums of the alt-rock genre, died of a heart attack at his Chicago recording studio Electrical Audio. He was 61.
Albini’s death and cause of death was confirmed by Taylor Hales of Electrical Audio.
Born July 22, 1962, in Pasadena, Albini moved to the Chicago area after high school to study journalism at Northwestern University. While there, he began writing for local punk rock ‘zines and beginning to record and engineer albums for local bands.
Stubbornly opposed to the larger music industry and its exploitation of artists, Albini formed the Chicago-based band Big Black in 1981, recording the first of several albums, an EP for the Chicago label Ruthless Records, a label he co-managed. That band last until 1987.
From 1987 to 1988, Albini sang and played guitar for Rapeman, named after a Japanese comic book. The short-lived band broke up after one album,...

Steve Albini, the legendary record producer and engineer behind Nirvana’s In Utero, Pixies’ Surfer Rosa, and countless other classic alternative rock albums, has died of a heart attack. He was 61 years old.
News of Albini’s death was confirmed to Consequence via a staff member at his recording studio, Electrical Audio in Chicago.
Preferring the term “engineer” over “producer,” Albini was lauded for his minimalist approach to recording sessions and focus on capturing the natural sound of musicians’ performances. As a singer and guitarist in his own right, Albini also led the bands Shellac and Big Black.
Albini was born in Pasadena, California, on July 22nd in 1962. He went to college at Northwestern University in Evanston, Illinois, and spent most of his career based in Chicago, where he founded Electrical Audio.
His music career essentially started as singer-guitarist of Big Black, a band he formed while still a student at Northwestern.

Fiona Apple is the go-to songwriter for exorcising your romantic demons, ruing the ones you loved, the ones who didn’t love you back, the ones you pushed away amid yet another freefall of your own design. She’s also the go-to singer for three studio comedy auteurs: Michael Showalter, Judd Apatow, and Paul Feig.
Apple’s songs have featured in three of their films — Apple wrote the original song “Dull Tool” for Apatow’s “This Is 40,” capturing a decades-long marriage at its breaking point. Elsewhere, her epic ball of romantic resignation “Cosmonauts,” off the 2020 album “Fetch the Bolt Cutters,” was also originally meant for that film. Meanwhile, her classic cabaret-inspired love song “Paper Bag,” about having too much emotional baggage to enter into a new relationship she wants “so bad, oh it kills,” featured in Feig’s “Bridesmaids” in a montage of Annie (Kristen Wiig) making cupcakes as...

With a new BBC radio series now launched, Courtney Love is once again proving the power of the adage “go large or go home.”
In a wide ranging interview with the UK’s Standard today, the former Hole front woman puts forth her take on some of the biggest names in the music industry. Let’s just say, Love bites in deep in the newspaper, to quote from her 1998 tune “Celebrity Skin,” to get her pound of flesh from Taylor Swift, Beyoncé, Madonna and recent Coachella headliner Lana Del Rey.
“Taylor is not important,” the People vs. Larry Flint star says of the superstar.
“She might be a safe space for girls, and she’s probably the Madonna of now, but she’s not interesting as an artist,” Love added.
The contrarian opinion on Swift is a big shift from where Love was on the Folklore singer just over two years ago.

Courtney Love could have a cruel summer running into Swifties after saying their favorite artist Taylor Swift is neither important nor interesting.
In a new interview with The Standard promoting Love’s BBC Radio series celebrating women in music, the Hole singer didn’t have kind words to say about Swift. “Taylor is not important,” she said. “She might be a safe space for girls, and she’s probably the Madonna of now, but she’s not interesting as an artist.”

Making room to piss off another fanbase, Love also said Beyoncé isn’t her cup of tea — though she appreciates the “concept” of Queen Bey’s latest album, Cowboy Carter. “I like the idea of Beyoncé doing a country record because it’s about Black women going into spaces where previously only white women have been allowed,” she explained. “I just don’t like her music.

Pj Harvey is a big Elvis Presley fan and meditates on his songs. She even created a fictional character inspired by Elvis’ “Love Me Tender.” In the same vein, she is a huge Bob Dylan fan and discussed her feelings about one of his more recent songs.
Pj Harvey said she could lose herself in Elvis Presley’s songs
During a 2022 interview with Rolling Stone, Harvey discussed her book-length poem Orlam. She was asked why the poem features a character named Wyman-Elvis who performs “Love Me Tender.”
“Well, I loved Elvis, as a lot of children of my era did, and I still love Elvis,” he said. “I love everything about him. I could lose myself in that voice, but not only that, the way he looked as well. He is almost a godlike figure in Orlam.“

The gallery is showing Van Vliet’s paintings in an exhibition titled “Standing on One Hand” through Feb.

Water from Your Eyes have shared a cover of Ween’s “If You Could Save Yourself (You’d Save Us All),” as part of Sounds of Saving’s “Songs That Found Me at The Right Time” series.
The CoSign alums picked the 2003 track to cover in part because of how relatable it was to vocalist Rachel Brown. “The reason that I even started making music by myself was ’cause I was really mentally unwell, but I didn’t really know how to communicate,” they explained in a Q&a accompanying the release. “I was like really depressed and suicidal for most of high school. I spent a lot of time thinking that there was no other option besides to have terrible thoughts that ruined my day…I just started writing songs ’cause it was like the only place that felt appropriate to be expressing the things that I was thinking about.

Pj Harvey performed a recent Tiny Desk Concert in support of her latest album I Inside the Old Year Dying.
Joined by her usual bandmates John Parish and James Johnston, Harvey performed four songs from the new LP: “I Inside the Old I Dying,” “A Noiseless Noise,” its lead single “A Child’s Question, August,” and its title track. The songs off I Inside the Old Year Dying closely tie in with the singer-songwriter’s epic poem Orlam, in which a distressed young girl merges with a forest around her in refuge; with minimal backing performers and hardly any chatter between songs, Harvey’s lyrics were the main focus of her Tiny Desk Concert, bringing the vivid imagery of her poem to life.
Lastly, Harvey performed the title track off her 2007 album White Chalk, almost as if to subtly nod to just some of the characters she’s embodied through her music over the years.

The exciting moment came about halfway through Harvey’s second set at Manchester’s Albert Hall on October 3rd. Marr graced the stage and was met with enthusiastic applause, after which the two launched into a rendition of Harvey’s 2004 track “The Desperate Kingdom of Love.”
Later in the set, Marr once again joined Harvey and her band, helping them close out the night with two encore tunes: “C’Mon Billy” and “White Chalk.” Watch fan-recorded clips of the three songs below.

A new era of Pj Harvey has begun. In July, she shared I Inside the Old Year Dying, her first album in seven years, and last week, she returned with her first live performance since 2017. Now, Harvey has hinted that she’s looking at touring North America in Fall 2024.
News of the North American dates arrives via a new interview with Vulture, in which Harvey discussed her ongoing European tour, and shined a light on what’s ahead for her. “It’ll be a look at all of my material over the years, but with a concentration on the latest album,” she said of the tour, speaking ahead of the opening performance this past weekend in Dublin.
Continuing, Harvey explained that, while the focus is on I Inside, the breadth of her discography will be celebrated at the upcoming gigs. “I think it’ll be a really comprehensive show for...

Thanks to her new album I Inside the Old Year Dying, Pj Harvey is finally playing shows again. The singer-songwriter kicked off her first tour since 2017 this weekend in Dublin, performing her new LP in its entirety before dusting off some old favorites. Check out clips of the concert below.
Harvey’s latest work keeps up the folk-tinged sound she’s been cultivating since her 2009 reinvention White Chalk. As such, new tracks like “A Child’s Question, July” feature rumbling percussion and maudlin keys as the singer reaches for her upper register. It makes sense, then, that after her I Inside the Old Year Dying set, the artist would dust off a song like the ghostly “Angelene,” from Is This Desire?, for the first time since 2012.
Elsewhere in the set, Harvey performed Uh Huh Her track “The Desperate Kingdom of Love” for the first time since 2013, while lucky concertgoers also...
