Glass Animals

"In contrast, the huge chord sounds heard on “The Other Side Of Paradise” is the ARP 2600 recorded 30 times playing each note of the chord individually, resulting in 32 tracks, super-stacked, panned off hard left and right, with a little bit of a chorus for the widest chord sound Bayley could create. The Jupiter-6 is what he likes for pad sounds and EMS VCS3 for effects."

The writing studio’s compactness leant itself nicely to Bayley’s process. Keeping his essentials within arm’s reach, he has guitars: Hofner 176, Fender Stratocaster, Selmer Classical, Fender Precision bass with flat-wound strings, Roland Jupiter-6, Korg MS-20, ARP 2600—which made it onto every song on the album—a vintage Neumann U 87 microphone, and a couple of API preamps. Recording happens into Pro Tools, with Ableton preferable for sequencing and programming. Keeping things simple allows Bayley to whiz around, patching in what he needs quickly.

"He states its intuitiveness as a draw for creating Pink Floyd-like loops and ambient space-y sounds. He also managed to get his hands on a Transcendent Synth 2000, which usually comes in a build-it-yourself kit, but Bayley’s used to belong to Martin Hannett of Joy Division."

Dave Bayley uses the Mellotron M4000D Mini in the this video during their stripped back version of “Your Love (Deja Vu)”. Dave also uses this in his Instagram live covers.
