About Metronomy's gear.
What synths does Joseph Mount play?
Mount told Roland that most synths on The English Riviera are the Juno-60. Sound On Sound listed two Roland Juno 60s, a Juno 106 and a Siel Orchestra 2 for Love Letters, with a Yamaha EX2 as the workhorse and a Baldwin Electric Harpsichord on one intro.
What drum machines are on Metronomy's Love Letters?
Sound On Sound named Mount's Ace Tone FR3, a Roland TR808 borrowed from producer James Ford and an Eko ComputeRhythm from the early '70s, which Mount used on The Upsetter and Monstrous.
How was Metronomy's Love Letters recorded?
Entirely analogue at Toe Rag in Hackney, straight to a 1970 eight-track Studer A80. Anna Prior's drums were recorded with four mics, including an AKG D12 on the kick, and Mount's vocals went through Toe Rag's AKG C12A.
What synths does Michael Lovett of Metronomy use?
His SoundBetter profile lists a Roland Jupiter-6, SCI Prophet 600, Yamaha CS-50, Moog Source, Korg Mono/Poly, ARP 2600, Roland SH-101 and a Wurlitzer 200a. KitMonsters saw him play a Roland Gaia SH-01 at a 2013 NZCA/LINES show.
What bass gear does Olugbenga Adelekan use?
On his SoundBetter profile he lists a Fender Precision and a Squier fretless, works in Ableton Live through an SSL-2 interface, owns an Ampeg SVT2 Pro amp and names Guitar Rig among his plugins.
What records shaped Joseph Mount?
Far Out reported his picks include the Ramones' Road to Ruin, Björk's Homogenic, the Beastie Boys' Hello Nasty, Marvin Gaye's What's Going On and Outkast's Speakerboxxx/The Love Below, which he almost wore out.
