From Alvvays (2014). Alvvays is the debut studio album by Canadian indie pop band Alvvays, released on July 22, 2014, by Polyvinyl, Royal Mountain and Transgressive. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Fender Player Jaguar through a Vox AC30HW2X Hand-Wired, the rig we use for Alvvays' other songs from Alvvays, stands in. Set the amp to a light crunch and use the bridge pickup. Standard tuning.
