Recorded live onto an 8-track tape machine and later mixed straight to 1/4 inch, record evokes spirit of classic records but with subtle modern edge. Joseph describes how band used an immaculately restored EMI console, some outboard and tape machine to shape their musical process from ground up. He retraces his steps arranging song for limited track count, recreating simple modulation effects hard way and making risky tape edits to bring it all together.
