From Mordechai (2020). Mordechai is the third studio album by American musical trio Khruangbin, released on 26 June 2020 by Dead Oceans and Night Time Stories. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Fender Vintera '60s Stratocaster through a Fender '65 Twin Reverb Reissue, the rig we use for Khruangbin's other songs from Mordechai, stands in. Set the amp to a light crunch and use the neck pickup. Standard tuning.
