He didn’t. The strings are largely sampled and that work and much of the pre-production was done at home. The songs were largely recorded in proper studios.
Ah okay, his comments then on this are a bit misleading.
Or the reporting is lazy…![]()
Yeah it was 6Music, bits of interview and bits of comment.
Nice pressing, Olan?
Hopefully, my copy awaits me at home.
Yep. All good, nice and flat with no evidence of distortion or surface noise.


Just one of the best albums ever for me
And something like you , just beautiful
Last song pricked my ears ‘Sail on through’ - prolly gospel reasons.
Needs another 2 listens to decide.
On the Sunshine is better than bland too.
I think I’ve wasted 20 bucks on the Album. Anybody wants it, wait a few days and I’ll likely be flogging it, half price, FFS.
Hang on to it and give me a chance to have another listen later.
Unsurprisingly this is an LP best listened to on vinyl at serious volume. The TIDAL stream I listened to via earbuds while walking the dog was nowhere near as good.
I hope you’re right, otherwise monsieur Donkey has bagged himself a cheap LP 

Proper Spiritualized
