When Toadies made The Charmer, it was a bucket list experience: recording at @electricalaudio in Chicago with the legendary Steve Albini.
Since Steve's passing, the @electricalaudiofoundation has been formed with the goal of purchasing the studio and preserving everything Steve stood for, access, integrity, and craftsmanship, by providing a world class recording studio, mentorship, and community to musicians and engineers for years to come.
To help support that mission, Toadies donated $1 from every ticket sold at our recent Chicago show to the Electrical Audio Foundation. We also created a ltd edition shirt featuring the original tape box track listing from The Charmer sessions with Steve. Proceeds from every shirt sold also go directly to the Foundation.
If you have a Steve Albini record in your collection (we hope you have lots, we do ), if your band recorded with Steve, or if his work influenced you, we encourage you to support the Electrical Audio Foundation however you can.
The ltd edition shirt is available now in the Toadies online store.
Thank you for helping keep Steve's legacy, and Electrical Audio, alive.

Congrats to my pals in @regulator.watts for releasing their first new music in 147362846 years on @solidbrassrecs. I had the privilege of working with them last year recording and mixing this fantastic new EP. Mastered by Greg Obis at @chicagomasteringservice. As both a long time fan of the band and fan of Albini’s work, pushing up the faders at @electricalaudio Studio B and hearing those iconic players in that iconic drum room was a transcendent experience. Thank you to Mac, @taylorhales, @normaphone, and everyone at EA for their continued stewardship of this treasured space. Cheers!

GREG NORMAN has been the resident Man Will Come Fix It and a superior audio engineer for who knows thirty years or something. He actually predates Electrical in these roles, hard as that is to believe from looking at his cherubic visage. He learned from The Best but is pointedly unafraid of computers and deserves strong consideration for all your recording needs, from solo piano to trip hop @electricalaudio

Chicago Show Announcement
Toadies are proud to support the Electrical Audio Foundation, a newly formed 501(c)(3) dedicated to preserving @electricalaudio — the legendary Chicago recording studio founded by Steve Albini.
The Electrical Audio Foundation will help carry Steve’s legacy forward by preserving the studio and supporting equity, access, creative freedom, and ownership for artists who walk through its doors and beyond.
As a band deeply influenced by Steve, and by the experience of recording The Charmer at Electrical Audio, Toadies will donate $1 from every ticket sold to our May 31 show at @thevicchicago to the Foundation.
We’ll also have a limited-edition “Recorded at Electrical Audio” shirt available at the show and online for a limited time, with proceeds benefiting the Electrical Audio Foundation.
If Steve influenced your band, or your record collection, Toadies encourage you to support the Foundation however you can.

It feels great to be back at one of my favorite places with one of my favorite people @taylorhales. I never forget how fortunate we are to have one of the best recording studios in the world here in Chicago. @electricalaudio
It’s been almost two years since Steve passed. He is missed but his creation and legacy are thriving. Last photo I took in December’23.

🎥 THE CHARMER — OFFICIAL MUSIC VIDEO OUT NOW 🎥 (link in bio)
“I knew before we went in to record the new album with Steve Albini we’d be playing together live as much as possible… Of course we knew he was going to capture the sound of what was happening in the room, so I took the opportunity to capture images as well.” — Clark Vogeler
While recording The Charmer, Clark quietly documented the sessions at Electrical Audio — one BMPCC 4K, a GoPro, tripods moved between takes, filming in the margins while the band worked fast.
“At times it was tough to balance making the record with filming the session, but the record always came first… I didn’t revisit the footage until long after Steve’s passing. It was a bit of a mindfuck to look at it again. He was always welcoming when my cameras were out… tirelessly focused on the work but also relaxed, stimulating and hilarious.”
The Charmer
Directed & edited by Clark Vogeler
Out now.
The Charmer full length out May 1 on Spaceflight Records
