[12] Live [ edit ] Writing sessions involved the two playing whatever instruments they had around, focusing on physical instruments to avoid getting lost in the possibilities of their digital audio workstation's "vast library of synths". [3] While Dougall said "it just wouldn't be right" if the album didn't contain Coxon's guitar playing, it was his work on the saxophone, an instrument he is classically trained in, which "really helped to shape the multi-angled outline" of the album. Coxon engineered most of the album before the duo brought on James Ford to finish the record. Ford made significant changes such as replacing the duo's synthesiser recordings with real string instruments and adding other sounds including a flute. Other instruments on the record include a cittern and a six string bass once owned by Sly and the Family Stone's Larry Graham. Dougall took vocal inspiration from singers such as Anne Briggs, Sandy Denny and Karen Dalton. [2] Release [ edit ] I’m not interested in the twee side of folk,” Dougall told NME. “We’re dealing with life and death and all that kind of thing. There’s a brutality to nature. It’s not all pastoral. Those are the visual things I feel that our music summons up.”
