Steve Albini, an American singer and producer, who gained popularity for his contributions with Nirvana, The Pixies, and PJ Harvey, has passed away at the age of 61.
Albini played a vital part in the independent music scene during the 80s and 90s, steadfastly standing by his beliefs. He was the driving force behind popular bands such as Big Black and Shellac.
His impact was also evident through the countless albums he oversaw the production and engineering for.
The collection featured The Pixies' important album Surfer Rosa and Nirvana's In Utero.
When Kurt Cobain heard the excellent work Albini had done with bands like Big Black, The Pixies, and The Breeders, he asked him to produce their next album in 1993, which was a successor to their highly popular album Nevermind.
At first, Albini didn't really like Nirvana and thought they were just like any other band from Seattle.

In 2005, Albini was captured in a photo at his Electrical Audio studio, located in Chicago.
According to reports, he agreed to collaborate with them out of sympathy. He perceived them as vulnerable to their dominant record label and was eager to give them a rougher edge to their music.
The Geffen record label was not impressed with the unpolished sound that the album had. They demanded that the songs Heart-Shaped Box and All Apologies be remixed.
The album In Utero achieved a sales record of 5 million copies in the United States. Albini expressed his satisfaction with the album, stating that he liked it even more than he had expected to.
Overall, he wasn't fond of being called a producer. He told the Guardian that he would rather be known as an engineer because he believed his job was to record the band and not mold their sound.
He chose not to receive ongoing payment based on sales of the artwork, instead opting to charge a fixed rate. In his opinion, profiting continuously from an artist's labor was unethical.
In Chicago, he was in charge of his very own studio called Electrical Audio. He was getting ready for Shellac's newest album, To All Trains, which was set to come out on May 17th. This was the band's first album since 2014.
