Toerag are brilliant from what I've heard, and while I don't share the mindset of Jack White, I do believe that analogue should be used as often as possible or necessary. I don't think there's any point fucking round with a 'popular' record, and I'd choose recording to tape and then pressing on vinyl from tape masters over digital recording and mastering at any opportunity.
I mean, listen to the first Cribs record: you can dismiss it as hipster shit or throwaway indie but to me it just sounds spot on. It hasn't been badly produced, it just hasn't really been produced at all.
Simplicity is something which is often forgotten in the world of music production.
