Iceland Recording Anecdote
- Jimmy LaValle recorded The Outer Banks in Iceland using equipment borrowed from Sigur Ros members and their studio.
- He created the foundational Rhodes loop with a Head Rush pedal, which the entire song was structured around.
Collaborative Melody Creation
- The main melody developed collaboratively: Kirten added glockenspiel, Maria doubled it, and Jimmy layered a Moog synthesizer.
- These layers shaped the haunting and unique melodic identity of the song.
Unexpected Polyrhythm by Drummer
- Ori surprised Jimmy by adding drums that felt like a 3/4 rhythm creating a polyrhythm with programmed beats.
- This contrast added a complex, unexpected rhythmic texture to the track.
