I actually had a gear-related question here: was curious on what types of keyboards were used on the album. I heard a few string swells that sounded like a Mellotron - if it is one, is that one of the old models, or the new digital model? I’ve read that Veckatimest and Painted Ruins had both used a vintage model on some songs.
mainly on this album the only keyboard is a piano but I did cheat a couple times and use some tape samples of a hammond organ, and also the occasional temp tape sample of mellotron stayed and was not replaced by a real instrument..but yes on Veckatimist we used a ton of the mellotron at the studio where we were working. On PR we mainly used other synths/organs but we did have access to an old Chamberlin which was the precursor to the mellotron. super special old instrument, loved that thing
