Written and recorded by the duo - Kit composed all the songs and Merve wrote the lyrics - in rural France during 2018, each song was completed within a 12-hour window, pawning contemplation for spontaneity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"_3ziulaHePS\" dir=\"ltr\" data-test=\"textbox\"\u003eDubbed by Kit and Merve as ‘lo-fi-hi-fi’ in reference to the high-end tube equipment that helped it find its way to 8-track cassette tape. The style owes its sound to narrow tape width, valve distortion, spring reverb, the mixture of high end gear with lo-fi equipment as well as a disregard to the norms of hi-fi studio techniques. All instruments were analogue and no samples were used. The instruments that are used range from tablas to darbukas, balalaikas to ouds, MS20 synths to Farfisa organs and a lot of cuica. The mixing techniques were done on-the-fly, tracking immediately to tape: compression, EQ, delay and reverb; meaning mixing could not be revisited!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ciframe width=\"100%\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/LS4s3KeV9Y4\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003ciframe src=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/embed\/album\/2Uo2xIUyu2VRo43IKxrokH\" width=\"100%\" height=\"380\" frameborder=\"0\" allowtransparency=\"true\" allow=\"encrypted-media\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e","brand":"Kit Sebastian","offers":[{"title":"Vinyl","offer_id":58738503319936,"sku":"MRBLP213","price":10.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"CD","offer_id":58738503352704,"sku":"MRBCD213","price":4.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Cassette","offer_id":58738503385472,"sku":"MRBCAS3","price":3.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"MP3 320K","offer_id":58738503418240,"sku":"MRBMP3213","price":2.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"WAV","offer_id":58738503451008,"sku":"MRBWAV213","price":3.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0972\/1384\/1792\/files\/MRBLP213SQUARE.jpg?v=1787214887","url":"https:\/\/vinylvers.com\/products\/kit-sebastian-mantra-moderne-vinyl-lp-cd-cassette","provider":"My Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
