From Sometimes I Sit and Think, and Sometimes I Just Sit (2015). Sometimes I Sit and Think, and Sometimes I Just Sit is the debut studio album by Australian indie rock musician Courtney Barnett, released on 20 March 2015. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Fender Player Jaguar through a Fender Hot Rod DeVille 212 IV, the rig we use for Courtney Barnett's other songs from Sometimes I Sit and Think, and Sometimes I Just Sit, stands in. Set the amp to a light crunch and use the bridge pickup.
