Spiral Deluxe - The Love Pretender

The Love Pretender album of Spiral Deluxe is the final work of the super group that was recorded in Tokyo Japan back in 2018-2019. The compositions have had numerous mix-down sessions in Paris France at the famous Studio Ferber under the supervision of the band’s creator and producer Jeff Mills. Though most of it was recorded in one solidary session over a period of two days, with special guest artist visiting the studio throughout each of the sessions.

As we routinely established from the beginning, there was never a discussion or plan for what type of music we were going to record so, the album tracks vary in style and direction, which displays the group’s vast array of interest in many forms of music. Most compositions were recorded in one take. Most of the recordings were initiated and started by percussionist Jeff Mills and bassist Jino Hino, then joined soon after by Gerald Mitchell and Yumiko Ohno.

And at the Paris mix-down sessions, Mills enlisted veteran guitarist, the late Sylvain Luc on a few tracks for rhythm and masterful solo parts that added a 1970’s American laidback west coast feel to them.
