End Hits is the fifth studio album by Fugazi. It was recorded at Inner Ear Studios from March 1997 to September 1997 and produced by the band and Don Zientara, and saw the band continuing with and expanding upon the in-studio experimentation of their previous album Red Medicine (1995).A wide variety of sound effects and unusual microphone placements were used during both the recording and mixing process. In addition, the band used electronic drums, synthesizers and the practice of drum-layering for the first time.Although the experimental effort caught fans and critics off-guard, praise for End Hits has grown steadily over the 20 years since its release, and it is now considered a classic.
