"The Charmer", the first studio album from Toadies in nearly a decade, is also one of the last recordings by the legendary sound engineer Steve Albini (Nirvana, Pixies, PJ Harvey) before his death in 2024. This raw, guitar-driven record returns the band to the pantheon of alternative rock that contributed to their initial success, while fitting perfectly into the lineage of the many young contemporary rock bands they have influenced. The CD edition of "The Charmer" includes a lyric booklet.
