From Different Creatures (2017). Different Creatures is the second studio album by British indie rock band, Circa Waves. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Fender Classic Player Jaguar Special HH through a Fender Hot Rod DeVille 212 IV, the nearest rig we use for Circa Waves' other songs, stands in. Set the amp to a medium-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup.
