Late producer and musician Steve Albini was a longtime resident of Chicago, so the city has decided to name a street in the city in his honor. As Pitchfork notes, thanks to an ordinance passed by Alderman Carlos Ramirez-Rosa, the 2600-2700 block of West Belmont Avenue in Avondale, between North Rockwell Avenue and North California Avenue, will officially be declared “Steve Albini Way.”

This stretch is where his legendary recording studio Electrical Audio, which Albini and staff members helped build by laying bricks during the construction process, stands. Albini died of a heart attack on May 7 at the age of 61. He fronted several revered rock bands, including Shellac and Big Black, and was a legend of the recording studio, though he said himself that he preferred the term “engineer” to “producer.”
