PJ Harvey paid tribute to Steve Albini, who she recorded her acclaimed second album 'Rid of Her' with, following the death of the noise-rock pioneer.
“Meeting Steve Albini and working with him changed the course of my life. He taught me so much about music, and life. Steve was a great friend – wise, kind and generous. I am so grateful,” the singer wrote on social media after Albini’s death at the age of 61. “My thoughts are with him and his family and friends as we suffer his loss.”, Harvey enlisted Albini for her sophomore LP after hearing his work with Pixies and the Breeders. “His sound just sounds like a band.
“It doesn’t sound like it’s gone through a recording process or it’s coming out of speakers. You can feel the sound he records, and that is why I wanted to work with him, ’cause all I ever wanted is for us to be recorded and to sound like we do when we’re playing together in a room, and that’s never happened before.” Harvey also credited Albini’s innovative studio setup for “capturing the feeling of the sound.
“Perhaps, at the time, we imagined he was the first of many brilliant experts we would encounter as our music career progressed— but it soon became clear that the unique combination of talents that constituted Steve were of the once in a lifetime variety. He was also, in spite of—or because of being so cool, a big nerd and a sweet guy.”Emily Blunt Says She's 'Absolutely' Wanted to Throw Up After Kissing Certain Actors During Filming: 'I've Definitely Not Enjoyed Some of It.
