In the studio with Graham Daniels

“The album was literally recorded in hundreds of places. From top-end studios to field recordings where everything had to be portable. As well as travelling with our performance kit to gigs, we’d bring a camera, mics, recorder and tripod in small bags.

“We mainly used a Tascam DR-40 to record audio, although when we started the project in 2009, mics were plugged directly into a Sony HVR-1 camera with XLR leads, recording A/V to digital tape.

“For the album, myself and Mark [Vidler, former band member] worked with Logic, keeping the samples as recorded. There was no re-keying or pitching. If a sample started well, but then the rest of the notes didn’t work, we’d lose it, and search for a better sample.

“The album was mixed in Pro Tools by Jérôme Caron in Paris. He brought a real unifying and timeless feel, wanting to use classic 808 sounds and keep it simple.”
