Used for The Small Hours, as mentioned in this December 2020 Sound on Sound interview.

Only for one album, 2016’s The Small Hours, has Matt Berry ventured outside of his own recording setup, tracking the album at Rimshot Studios in Kent using the facility’s 1966‑built 10‑channel Decca desk and Studer A827 two‑inch 24‑track.

“I just wanted to do something different for different’s sake,” he says. “It was worth it for the experience of going to a studio with your songs, but I don’t know whether I’d do that again. I enjoy controlling the whole thing in my own time. I did it just to see what it would be like, and it was worth it ’cause I got a relationship going with [studio owner] Mike Thorne. He’s got fantastic ears and he masters all of my stuff.”
