RSR078 - Steve Albini - Electrical Audio, Recording Nirvana, & Shellac

Steve Albini is often referred to as a producer, although he prefers the label of recording engineer. Steve owns and operates Electrical Audio, and has been making records for four decades recording other bands and his own band, Shellac. Steve has recorded over 1500 records on analog tape with a full spectrum of bands, from those that you have never heard of, to some of the biggest names in rock and roll: The Pixies, Nirvana, Robert Plant & Jimmy Page, Pj Harvey, The Breeders, Superchunk, Helmet, The Stooges, Cheap Trick, and Veruca Salt. I had the great pleasure to work with Steve at Electrical Audio on a couple of different records while staying at the studio in the dorms. I learned a ton from Steve about recording, running a professional studio, business, and believing in people and their music, and I’m sure you will too here on this podcast.
