Superchunk's Mac McCaughan and Laura Ballance shared tributes to Steve Albini, who produced the band's 1991 classic, 'No Pocky for Kitty.'
as a “unique and outstanding individual,” who helped the burgeoning indie rock band sound “bigger than we were in real life.” . McCaughan remembered cutting the album over three nights — working literally sundown to sun-up, 6 p.m. to 6 a.m. — at Chicago Recording Company.
He added: “After we made the record he wrote to say he was riding around in his car listening to a cassette of the mixes and something along the lines of ‘he actually liked it’ though i knew he’d rather be listening to something heavier.” Personally he was welcoming and funny and friendly and probably knew that a young band coming in as fans of his bands and records he had made would be nervous about working with a guy whose public persona was cranky and acerbic and intimidating.
