Hopes & Dreams (Abbey Road After Hours Session) recorded and mixed by John Barrett.
“Everything sounds so good, so it informed the way I played. A lot of the time, you record something, and it sounds pretty crap at the end of Day 1 and then someone goes away and fixes it in the mix. Everything as it sounds here is basically how it was recorded, which is the power of coming to a place like this.” – Jordan Rakei
“The thing that’s really nice is the fact that Jordan specifically wants it to sound like instruments in a room. We’re really taking advantage of the space and putting up lots of room mics which you don’t often get to do. If you’ve got things playing together, you can’t put the ambience around it because you get the spill from other instruments, but because we’re recording it one thing at a time you can really use the space and it all adds up to sound like a collection of instruments in a real room.” – John Barrett
