Oh my god. I had no idea he produced that. That record is of monumental importance to one of my dearest friends, and hooked me on early Emo in a way that Rites of Spring never could. Going to listen again and try to detect the invisible hand of Albini. What stands out to you about the production?
- runnr_az 2y agoThe listed producer, “Flus” was Albini’s cat. That’s how punk Blake and the gang were - didn’t even list their indie-famous producer on their most popular album. Punk as fuck. As to why, it’s a fantastic example of what Albini did best - it sounds like a real band, raw and live, both melodic and rough around the edges. The guitar sound, iconic, but in the service of the songs. There’s a kind of efficiency to the album - like, no wasted fat, audio gimmick, etc… the Alpinist of punk, bring nothing you don’t need. Can’t wait for someone to generate a version of Nevermind with the production of 24 Hour…
