"Fugazi recorded the entire album with Albini at the Chicago Recording Company, but were unhappy with the results. The band instead returned to its hometown of Washington, D.C., and co-produced the album with Ted Nicely."
"Now, in tribute to Albini, who sadly died in 2024 at age 61, Fugazi are unearthing the "Albini Sessions" for charity. The proceeds will benefit the Letters Charity, which provides direct assistance to families facing urgent financial hardship, and was near and dear to Albini."
"The sessions feature all of the tracks that Albini engineered and mixed in Chicago that Fugazi would later re-record for In on the Killtaker. It is exclusively available as a digital-only release via Bandcamp for $10, with 100-percent of the proceeds benefitting the aforementioned Letters Charity."
Fugazi recorded their 1993 album In on the Kill Taker with legendary producer Steve Albini at Chicago Recording Company, but the band rejected the results and re-recorded it in Washington, D.C. with co-producer Ted Nicely. Following Albini's death in 2024, Fugazi has released the original Albini Sessions as a digital-only benefit album on Bandcamp for $10. All proceeds support Letters Charity, an organization providing financial assistance to families in crisis that was important to Albini. The release includes all twelve tracks engineered and mixed by Albini during the original Chicago sessions.
