In addition to the new single, Mandoki Soulmates announced the availability of a Dolby Atmos album mix, which will be available to stream and buy on May 10^th. The mix was done by Bruce Soord, multi-instrumentalist, songwriter, and frontman for internationally renowned experimental rock outfit “The Pineapple Thief”. Dolby Atmos is an immersive surround sound format that offers a spatial sound experience that has so far mainly been used in cinemas. When done well, Dolby Atmos allows music to be reproduced with unparalleled clarity and depth.

The entire album was recorded and produced purely in the analog domain, from microphone to mixing and mastering. Recorded and mixed in Leslie Mandoki’s Red Rock Studios near Munich, mastered in the infamous Sterling Sound Studios in New York, and cut in the Emil Berliner Studios in Berlin. The analog format is also an expression of their special appreciation and bond with the band’s audience, “like a love letter handwritten with a fountain pen”.

See Leslie Mandoki explain the analog process in this short video.
