Re: their last album from 2020, but an interesting read: “At this point, you might be expecting the customary engineer’s ode to a talismanic, 32-channel studio centrepiece. Well, at Blank, there isn’t one. “We haven’t got a console at the studio,” Sam tells me. So, everything is about preamp selection; picking preamps for sources. Over the past 12 years, as a group of engineers, we have had to go from zero. Like, we got five grand off the council in 2008 as part of a business development grant. And that’s been it, really. But what that’s done is forced our hands to understand every bit of equipment that we add to the setup.”
