Steve Albini was a man of many talents. It’s crazy when you find out just how many influential bands he worked with. Specifically Mono mentioned working with him on their brand new album. I was stunned how many genres he worked with - I knew him from Nirvana and “Some Of Your Friends Are Already This Fucked”.

And yeah, poker too. RIP you legend.

The last Shellac album was released a few days after he passed.

Iirc it was his wish, that it was handled this way. Didn't know he was also producing stuff at the same time.

The man really worked until his last days on earth.

RIP
