Steve Albini, a producer for Nirvana, the Pixies, PJ Harvey, and other prominent musicians of the era, has died of a heart attack. He was 61.
In addition to his work on canonized rock albums such as Nirvana‘s "In Utero," the Pixies’ breakthrough "Surfer Rosa," and PJ Harvey’s "Rid of Me," Albini was the frontman of the underground bands Big Black and Shellac.
He dismissed the term "producer," refused to take royalties from the albums he worked on, and requested he be credited with "Recorded by Steve Albini," a fabled label on albums he worked on.
