| |  Although the Double recorded 2002s folk-noise explosion Loose Crochet as a duo, the groups full lineup is comprised of vocalist/bassist David Greenhill, drummer/programmer Jeff McLeod, keyboardist Jacob Morris, and guitarist/vocalist Donald Bearman. Based in Brooklyn, the band experiments with indie-rock and ambient noise in a low-fi setting. 2004s Palm Fronds, the bands first release as a quartet, also featured electronic elements due to percussionist McLeods arm injury, which incapacitated his hand and necessitated the use of a drum machine. The following year, the Double signed to Matador Records and began working with producer Steve Revitte. Loose in the Air was recorded in 12 days and released that fall, featuring a slightly more polished sound as well as a return to the traditional drum kit.
