Ra Ra Riot Cool recording techniques

Here one of the members is pictured using two different mics for his vocals.

Here we have one of the guys from Ra Ra Riot recording a piano segment for one of there songs in a field.

It appears here this guy likes to take a layback approach to recording with 2 different mics as well.

I think this is all of them.

The girls are the violin & cello players & they are kind of pretty.

Sorry i didnt catch there names individually but i just dicovered these guys randomly on Itunes where i downloaded a couple of there songs. They also have a violin player & a cello player as part of there band. I really like there sound. Even though im a hip hop artist i still apreciate all different styles of music.
The song i like on YOUTUBE

President Obama Tells Rolling Stone he Listens to Nas & Lil Wayne

Rolling Stone:What music have you been listening to lately? What have you discovered, what speaks to you these days?

President Obama: …Thanks to Reggie, my rap palate has greatly improved. Jay-Z used to be sort of what predominated, but now I’ve got a little Nas and a little Lil Wayne and some other stuff, but I would not claim to be an expert. Malia and Sasha are now getting old enough to where they start hipping me to things. Music is still a great source of joy and occasional solace in the midst of what can be some difficult days.
