“No Deal was recorded in 3 days and we adopted a basic, old way approach to this with everyone in the same room except the vocalist and we were separated by a transparent window. The placement of the microphones and musicians were really important, so the whole of the first day was used to do this. We wanted it to be perfect. Over the next two days we created the textures and colours of No Deal. Once we finished recording, I took my time to really extract and distill the essence of the album. Time was my artistic Director. Five years. No less.”
